Yes, that's much clearer about where the code is from ... thanks for
that.  My only concern is whether it should be boost_shared_ptr.h rather
than boost_memory.h, but that's not very important.

Excellent, thanks for resolving these issues!

Now that the code's there legally, it's probably time to fix the MT race
condition, I'll prepare a patch.

I assume no-one's contacted the original authors?  I'll send them a
mail, explaining what the FSF's decisions was and under what terms we're
using the code (and that we don't need to ask them for assignments)

Thanks again for your time on this, Benjamin.
