If I understand correctly, <boost/tr1/memory.hpp> uses your compiler's
shared_ptr if it's available.  I can think of no way to mix
boost::make_shared with an arbitrary shared_ptr.

If you need boost::make_shared, then I would recommend using it with
boost::shared_ptr as defined in <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>.
