 [follow-on for #186]

 The C++ API now has optional reference counting of the various functor
 classes which API objects keep references to.

 We should make use of this in the bindings - several of the bindings
 (Python, PHP, Perl) already have separate tracking code so there will be
 no observable behaviour change for those (except for a small speed-up),
 while for the other languages this would fix cases which currently
 fail.means that cases which failed before now work, so it's reasonable as
 a change to make mid-1.4.x (and indeed the tracking code for Python and
 PHP wasn't added at the start of release series).

 There's an attempt at a patch in #186, but it looks like this may need
 changes to SWIG.

 This is a bug for the languages which don't currently have tracking, so
 setting type=defect.
