Yes, you just need to pass a shared_ptr (or weak_ptr) to the slot's track() 
function which owns the object (either directly or indirectly).

No, it's sitting in the review queue until someone volunteers to be review 
manager, although Doug Gregor suggested it should only need a mini-review.  
There will at least need to be some namespace/header location rearrangement.  
Plus the postconstructor stuff might get dropped depending on sp_accept_owner 
getting into a boost release of shared_ptr.
