When using the pool_allocator (or fast_pool_allocator) in an application 
that has several DLLs on the Windows platform, the pool allocator 
"singleton" is created in each DLL, so when an object is allocated in 
one DLL and freed in another, you get a nasty crash.

I worked around this by using a factory function that resides in the 
first loaded DLL.

I definitely support a "lock-free & thread-safe" version, and, if both 
are not achievable at the same time, some variants towards one and the 
other.

Cheers,
