Description
The class SmartPointer in dune-common implements a reference-counting pointer. Such a pointer is also available under the name of shared_ptr in tr1 and C++0x. In order to follow existing standards as much as possible I propose to deprecate SmartPointer, use shared_ptr instead, and offer a simple fallback implementation of shared_ptr for systems without tr1.
