Conversion from std::auto_ptr<T> to boost::shared_ptr<T> should still
be possible without member templates:
shared_ptr(std::auto_ptr<T>& r) {
pn = new long(1); // may throw
px = r.release(); // fix: moved here to stop leak if new throws
}
A larger question: shouldn't this constructor (and the corresponding
member template) be made _explicit_?
