It really shouldn't be. I've made a conscious effort to reduce shared_ptr 
(and bind) dependencies as much as possible. shared_ptr should even compile 
with an empty boost/config.hpp on a conforming compiler.

But unfortunately the dependencies still manage to get their way back into 
the code, somehow.
