CustomString Sample: Demonstrates Custom Memory Allocators for CStringT

The CustomString sample shows how to use a custom memory allocator for CStringT to improve performance in a multithreaded application. The sample application replaces carriage return/line feed pairs in a set of text files with a single carriage return, processing multiple files simultaneously on different threads.
