/** Makes a boost::shared_ptr from a ref-counted UNO object pointer.
    This makes sense if the object is used via UNO (implementing some X
    interface) and also internally using its implementation class, e.g.

    <pre>
        boost::shared_ptr<MyUnoImpl> const ptr(
            comphelper::make_shared_from_UNO( new MyUnoImpl ) );
        ...
        xUno->callingUno( uno::Reference<XSomeInterface>( ptr.get() ) );
        ...
        takeSharedPtr( ptr );
        ...
    </pre>

    @attention The shared_ptr operates on a separate reference counter, so
               weak pointers (boost::weak_ptr) are invalidated when the last
               shared_ptr is destroyed, although the UNO object may still be
               alive.

    @param p object pointer
    @return shared_ptr to object
