[C++-sig] Boost.Python v2: object embedding/lazy dict creation

[David Abrahams]

I've just checked in changes to CVS which cause most wrapped C++ objects to
be stored directly in the memory allocated to their corresponding Python
objects. This should cut down on memory fragmentation and
locality-of-reference issues. A related change causes the instance __dict__
of your wrapped classes to be allocated only when you access the __dict__
attribute or write the first attribute on your class, further reducing
memory overhead.

Enjoy,
Dave
