To a certain degree auto_ptr<YourClass> supports a custom 
de-allocator...overload operator delete in a known case for a specific 
object.  I haven't actually done it, but it seems not too challenging to 
template a base class that does this for you with your custom allocator and 
then use it as a mix-in class for whatever class you are creating.  Does 
that solve your issue or am I missing your point?  If so, sorry I came a 
little late to this thread.
