1) A test driver corresponding to:
libs/ smart_ptr/test/shared_ptr_test.cpp
for use in testing the policy_ptr emulation of shared_ptr.

2) Copying boost/detail/shared_count.hpp to
boost/policy_ptr/detail/shared_count.hpp and supplying another
template parameter to enable specialization of shared_count
on the 2nd template parameter. This specialization
can allow an emulation of shared_ptr to collect cycles using precise
pointer location (as opposed to libs/smart_ptr/src/sp_collector.cpp
conservative pointer location). It also allows another
specialization to emulate the conservative pointer location
of sp_collector.cpp. I plan to mostly copy sp_collector.cpp
to test it. That's why I just wanted to run a program and
see the output. Vladimir showed me how with his:

run-output test.out : test.exe ;

post. Thanks Vladimir.
