This solves the issue with bcrsmatrix.hh in fs#727.

Please merge to release.

gcc-4.4 failed to compile the shared_ptrtest with ''NULL was not declared in this scope''. Introduced usage of null_ptr to fix this.

A proper cast-to-bool is still missing.

Follow the stl standard: the default constructor of a shared_ptr creates a NULL pointer, and does NOT allocate memory

if an implementation of shared_ptr has been found in either std, tr1, or boost, then use that one.  If not fall back on our own

rename the method count() to use_count().  This is the naming of the standard shared-pointer implementation

the class from SmartPointer to shared_ptr.  That way the implementation
is like the tr1 one.  The old file is deprecated.  The tr1 implementation
is not yet used even on platforms that have it, because I have to think
of a proper test first.
