Yes.  Sorry about the delay, but other work has caught up to me.  I
don't know if I'll say it's finished because I'm not sure I can meet
everyone's wishes ;)

Completed:

Renamed __default_alloc_template to __pool_alloc_template.
Made the definitions of both allocation templates present in the
  library, and _GLIBCPP_USE_MALLOC just selects which is the default one
  used by std::allocator.
Added (naive?) link-time guards to prevent objects compiled with
  different _GLIBCPP_USE_MALLOC settings from linking.  Tips on how to
  do this with symbol versioning would be appreciated.

TODO:

Figure out what the comment in c++config.h should say.
Write the final configopts.html entry and FAQ entry.

  
I hate to submit this patch in this semi-finalized form (I don't like
to be sloppy), but it's probably better than letting it rot.  I
haven't had the opportunity to run the test suite on it yet either.
I will be able to work more on it now if there are suggestions.
