I recommend consulting "Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu (C++
In-Depth Series, Addison-Wesley) where a couple of singleton-designs
are discussed. The answer to your question is included there and the
short form is: It's possible but it is complicated :-) Don't know if
you really want to go down that road...
