1) Use raw pointers with boost lockfree queues
2) Use shared pointers with a std::queue and a boost::mutex to ensure
thread safety (note that this may not necessarily be slower than using
the lockfree queue)
3) Use moveable objects with boost container deque

There are more options, if one of these does not suffice.
