Ubuntu 8.10 also has all of boost 1.35 packaged, though it's not the
default.

Provided they have or can build boost 1.35 or later, there's no need for
the separate library anyway. And boost 1.35 is over two years old!

I doubt it, as that's a multi_index container and it's unlikely that
boost offers a ptr_multi_index_container (I haven't looked into the
possibilities).
