Maybe they are not generic enough.

I think the only half-generic type is unique_ptr, but we should have a 
better implementation in SmartPtr and Interprocess should depend on that.

boost::interprocess::shared_ptr is a special case since a 
non-polymorphic implementation is needed to place reference counted 
smart pointers in shared memory.

boost::scoped_ptr could be updated to support non-trivial pointer types 
and Interprocess could depend on that implementation.

Best,
