Look into the new documentation under the section "Rationale" for and 
explanation of this issue and how to address it.

This doesn't show up with demo_exception.cpp, I would have to see more 
context.  Again, this is described in the new "Rational Section"

This is not enforced by the "&" operator for just this reason.

This is an error in the demo - it wasn't updated for the new serialization 
of shared pointers.  I've fixed it and now plan to check it into the 
developement CVS.

I don't see this on my machine.  If you're projects specify a specific 
library to link to, this may be an issue with the new auto-link.  See the 
section in the documentation of auto-linking.

I just compiled a test file on my machine.  The test file consisted of just 
the above headers.  It compiled with no problem so I can't reproduce it.

Thanks for helping with the testing of this.
