Patch to use shared_ptr in Command<> implementation.

There are two ways adding a command to a component interface:
1. Use the Command my_command object and register that
object to the CommandRepository
2. Use the command( &foo, &foo_cond, &bar) factory function and
register the result of that call to the CommandRepository.

Option 1. uses twice as much as memory as option 2., as the command object
stores the same info as the CommandRepository, while in 2., there is no command
object, hence the data is stored only once.

Event and Method do not have this issue, as boost::shared_ptr is used.
Likewise, Command<> could use a shared_ptr implementation to solve the same
issue. I have a patch, but again, this makes the command code even harder to
read than it already is...
