It   works  with  STLPort(www.stlport.com).  On VC 6 you  must  define
2  helper  functions
__stl_alloc_create and __stl_alloc_rebind in namespace std. Some thing
like that
namespace std
{
   template <class _Tp1, class _Tp2, class _Tp3, class _Mtx>
   inline boost::pool_allocator<_Tp2, _Tp3, _Mtx>& _STLP_CALL
                __stl_alloc_rebind(boost::pool_allocator<_Tp1, _Tp3, _Mtx>& __a, const _Tp2*) 
  {  return (boost::pool_allocator<_Tp2, _Tp3, _Mtx>&)(__a); }

  template <class _Tp1, class _Tp2, class _Tp3, class _Mtx>
  inline boost::pool_allocator<_Tp2, _Tp3, _Mtx> _STLP_CALL
   __stl_alloc_create(const boost::pool_allocator<_Tp1, _Tp3, _Mtx>&, const _Tp2*)
        { return boost::pool_allocator<_Tp2, _Tp3, _Mtx>(); }

}

On VC7 work without helper functions
