There's probably not much point in wrapping the component context 
dispose call in a cppuhelper helper function, so maybe the best would be 
to document in comphelper/inc/comphelper/bootstrap.hxx that the 
component context obtained from the 
cppu::defaultBootstrap_InitialComponentContext variants needs to be 
disposed by the caller.

(That said, one could argue that the thing that is causing trouble in 
the second case is rather the static data with destructor.)
