[C++-sig] eposing classes with protected destructors

[Daniel Paull]

I'm using VC6 and it seemed to have problems unless I put it in the
boost namespace.  I figured that this was only a temporary work around
(until I hear otherwise!), so I wasn't too fussed.

Should it work with VC6?  Nasty hacks like this are a pain and I'd like
to avoid them.

Cheers,

Dan
