I want to suggest Robert Ramey as a mentor (if he agrees of course),
because boost::serialization already has some mechanisms for plugin
library in place.

From previous discussions, a first step in making a plugin library for
boost would be extracting the needed parts from the serialization
library.

For uninformed: it is pretty obvious that boost::serialization must
contain a class factory - how else would you instatinate classes from
data being deserialized? :)
