OK, I've done it this way, but I'm not sure about it. Every compiler that's
available to me (Visual C++ 6, Borland, mingw, cygwin, Digital Mars)
supports alloca, _alloca or both, so I don't think TEMP_FREE is really
needed. I'm worried about exception safety when using it, it seems like it
could easily lead to leaks.

Thanks, I've only ever used boost for multithreading, so I wouldn't know
where to start here.
