I surrounded the place where I include boost/shared_ptr.hpp and
boost/shared_array.hpp with the #pragma option push/pop. Not a very
elegant solution, but it seems to do the trick.

Surrounding the use_count_is_zero definition with the #pragmas would
allow Boost to handle this case on its own, which is a Good Thing, but
clutters the code with compiler-specific #ifdefs. 

Thank you very much for your help,
