   I'm new to this list, but think this topic worthy.  Especially if
it can be done in a way that is non-intrusive.  That is, that the
objects that are serialize do not have to inherit from a common base
class.  I remember reading an article in the now defunct C++ Report
which described a way to do that.  That would be great, because if you
custom objects conatained STL objects and still be serializable, that
would be super.
