Shmem was accepted and many changes were requested. As a result, I'm 
developing Boost.Interprocess, that will be the official Boost version 
of the library. Shmem is in a bug fix state. You can download it from 
Boost.Vault and Sandbox CVS. I plan to upload a new version of 
Boost.Interprocess in a week to Boost CVS and Vault. Interprocess has 
many breaking changes from Shmem, but essentially will allow the same 
features as Shmem plus new interprocess communication mechanisms. I work 
the faster I can (lately, not very fast, I admit). Interprocess won't 
appear officially until Boost 1.35.

Ion
