Woops OK, read the boost docs :D

It has special features so it 'resolves' the pointers on access. But
then it can't contain abstract classes... grrrr

A similar issue is there:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8663689/boostptr-vector-and-cloning-objects

Here talks about a solution
http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2011/04/67627.php

something about cloning concepts and so on...

(really never liked boost, too fscking convoluted to use...)

OTOH LIB_ITEM should be abstract...
