[Pool] Attention all Pool users....

Folks, I'm planning on merging the all new and shiny version of Boost.Pool in the sandbox under https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/guild/pool/ into Trunk pretty soon unless anyone objects. There are a lot of bug fixes in this version, plus updated docs (see https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/guild/pool/libs/pool/doc/pool.pdf). Please let me know if you spot any issues, or if there's something that needs addressing that hasn't been (no promises on that one though!). Regards, John.

I always worry about new versions breaking something in other libraries, particularly mature libraries where no one looks at the regression test results. Ryppl will try to address that, but as an experiment in the meantime I've saved a copy of the current trunk regression page, and will do the same once the tests have cycled with your changes. Maybe a diff will be instructive. Thanks for taking this on! Pool badly needs the attention! --Beman

Thanks Beman - however note that pool had very little testing coverage previously, hopefully the new tests will improve things a little in that respect! John.
