// $Log$
// Revision 1.15  2006/01/28 20:12:56  syntheticpp
// replace implementation with a auto-create and propagating-const wrapper for smart pointers which auto delete the holded pointer on destruction
//
// Revision 1.14  2006/01/26 14:28:59  syntheticpp
// remove wrong 'typename'
//
// Revision 1.13  2006/01/23 17:22:49  syntheticpp
// add support of deep constness, only supported by (future) Loki::SmartPtr, not supported by boost::shared_ptr and plain pointer. Maybe deep constness forces a redesign of Pimpl. Is there a way to support deep constness by a rimpl?
//
// Revision 1.12  2006/01/19 18:16:39  syntheticpp
// disable usage with auto_ptr: don't compile with std::auto_ptr
//
// Revision 1.11  2006/01/18 19:03:06  syntheticpp
// make rimpl type really a reference
//
// Revision 1.10  2006/01/18 16:49:06  syntheticpp
// move definition of the destructor to extra file, because msvc tries to use the incomplete type; not inlining does not help; maybe this is a compiler bug.
//
// Revision 1.9  2006/01/17 12:03:36  syntheticpp
// add comment about auto_ptr
//
// Revision 1.8  2006/01/17 11:07:34  syntheticpp
// AutoPtrHolderChecked inherits from AutoPtrHolder
//
// Revision 1.7  2006/01/16 19:48:23  syntheticpp
// add error policy
//
// Revision 1.6  2006/01/16 19:05:09  rich_sposato
// Added cvs keywords.
