This is something that would be very interesting to me, but I wonder if the
memory allocation can be factored out in the current boost library by using
allocators or something.  I'm not terrible familiar with the libraries
internals, but I'd be willing to take a look at my next free cycle.  To be
clear, is there another state machine lib in boost besides
boost.statechart?  That's the only one I'm familiar with from a user
perspective.
