        As the result of boost::bind is a template I don't know of an
stl or boost container which will store these objects.

boost::function as I don't know the arguments to my generic post call.

I think boost::function<void()> may be exactly what you want. The usage
would be to boost::bind() your function with all the desired argument
values: I'm assuming you already know these before you decide whether
the resource is ready to service the function call. Then you can simply
call the resulting object with no additional arguments. Everything it
needs is already bound.

Then it's easy to decide whether to call it immediately, or put it in a
std::queue< boost::function<void()> >.
