References aren't an option.

The Pool member is used in overloaded operator new and delete's - the
new looks roughly like:

void *
SomeClass::operator new(size_t byteCount)
{
    assert(byteCount == sizeof (SomeClass));
    if (!Pool)
       Pool = memPoolCreate("SomeClass",sizeof(SomeClass));
    return memPoolAlloc(Pool);
}

What we can do is convert MemPool.c to MemPool.cc and make MemPool's
able to be be statically allocated, rather than only dynamically.

i.e.
MemPool ACLStrategised<MatchType>::Pool
(sizeof(ACLStrategised<MatchType>));
