I'm posting here a request for help I got via another channel.  If anyone is interested in the project, such requests might be helpful.  I'll post the solutions here as well.

Use the code under trunk.  I originally thought I had that branch working, but there appears to be a problem there.  In the meantime, I got the TRUNK code working correctly.

The difference between the two branches is the way that the Factories and Destroyers (Now lumped together into an template class called Activator)  are associated with the Zones.  The TRUNK code uses a pointer to a singleton object as the key for a map, whereas the branch using-typeinfo attempted a more ambitious wrapping of type info of a class into an object.  I don't think I want to pursue this approach.

[Glenn-Meister]

I get this problem with the using-typeinfo branch but the trunk compiles and runs OK.

[Adam Young]

Yeah, I originally thought the type-info branch was working.  Sorry to have mislead.  I didn't get the trunk working until after.  It still blows up in the qt3 example.
