I have used some of boost component (smart-pointer and regular expression).
There is lot of interesting thing, but not always supported by all compiler
(tuple is pretty much useless on VC++).

I haven't looked to deep into the unit test (I tried to give it a look, but
they are usually a large bunch of lines, pretty much unreadable for me.).
Still, they test for memory leak.
