Hi Jarosław,

Thanks for that, but my requirements are different from (and much simpler 
than) what you implemented. I don't want the list to handle deletions except 
when it is destructed - its purpose is simply to avoid a memory leak in the 
list destructor. The rest of the time, I want the caller to handle deletion 
of the list elements. My version is actually similar to 
kdepimlibs/kcal/listbase.h, except that auto-deletion is always enabled.

Cheers,
