Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0                            |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk                 |    Severity:  Problem

----------------------------------------------------+-----------------------
 The patch adds the return value policy return_pointee_value, which can be
 nicely used for functions that return pointers to non-exposed objects. I
 wrote documentation, the header and testcases.[[BR]]


 There are some issues:
 - The test cases are not integrated into the Jamfile in the tests-
 directory (I dont know bjam very well).[[BR]]
 - I dont know, wether the tests are OK the way they are done.[[BR]]
 - I did not add an #include directive to any boost-python header. But some
 header should include the <boost/python/return_pointee_value.hpp>, but I
 dont know which one.
