	/// This template class implements an adapter that sits between
	/// a NotificationCenter and an object receiving notifications
	/// from it. It is quite similar in concept to the 
	/// RunnableAdapter, but provides some NotificationCenter
	/// specific additional methods.
	/// See the NotificationCenter class for information on how
	/// to use this template class.
	///
	/// This class template is quite similar to the Observer class
	/// template. The only difference is that the NObserver
	/// expects the callback function to accept a const AutoPtr& 
	/// instead of a plain pointer as argument, thus simplifying memory
	/// management.
