I'm sorry. Acutally, I need only boost::pool, which is not part of TR1.
The problem was that it uses common parts of boost and files that reside
in the root folder. Thus, there was no clean way of including only
relevant parts. In r11759, I reduced it manually to ~40 files.
Background: MS CRT memory management goes berserk when the address space
gets fragmented. This seems to be the case when building extremely large
revision graphs (>100k nodes). Maybe, its vector<>s fragmenting memory
when growing. As a result, *closing* the revision graph takes ages (up
to a minute).
