It's an alternative to stdext::shared_object_ptr
with weak pointers support and some other functionallity, however
it's heavier, uses more memory, more allocation and slower,
this class should be used when really needed, prefer
stdext::shared_object_ptr
Implement new classes:
* stdext::any => ligher replacement for boost::any
* stdext::packed_any => like any but optimized to use less memory
* stdext::shared_object => ligher replacement for std::shared_ptr
* stdext::shared_object_ptr => replacement for boost::intrusive_ptr
* stdext::fast_storage => for storing dynamic data
* stdext::packed_storage => same but with less memory
* stdext::packed_vector => std::vector with less memory
Compiling should be a little faster now because global boost including
is not needed anymore
* the rendering now consits of two panes
- the background pane (for animated stuff like the map)
- the foreground pane (for steady stuff, like UI)
each pane has it own max FPS and works idependently
this may increase graphics performance on many platforms
