Hi,

At the bottom of 

http://uint32t.blogspot.com/2007/12/you-lazy-bastard-part-1.html 

there is a simple class that I've used. The usage would look something 
like:

struct Object {...};

// returns Object &, lazily-initialized and threadsafe
singleton<Object>::instance(); 

It requires Boost Threads to be threadsafe. I apologize in advance for 
the language, but didn't think it could possibly be useful :-)

I also recently came to know that there is something in the Boost Vault 
under the X-files folder.

Let me know if you have any questions.
