//
//fei::SharedPtr is a copy of the Sierra system's SharedPtr class, which
//was added by Kevin Copps. This class is a close copy of the boost shared_ptr.
//
//NOTE: In this copy, I've removed the member function 'swap', and the 
//std::less specialization.
//
//boost::shared_ptr now allows a second template parameter which specifies
//a deleter object. Instead of adopting that, I'm taking a lazy approach and
//simply adding a default bool argument to a constructor which specifies 
//whether the SharedPtr should delete the pointer or not.
