   I strongly second the use of Boost C++ Library reference counting
smart pointers.  For that matter, the Boost library is chock full of
some incredibly useful C++ goodies.  Fortunately it's been round long
enough that it generally comes stock with development packages on most
linux distros.  It's also cross-platform -- I know it works in unix,
linux, macs, and on Windows.

Just my two pence' worth.
