[boost] [serialization] register_type and dll/so module

Hi,

In the serialization library, when classes are never serialized directly 
but rather through a pointer to the base class, the user need to call 
register_type so that the archive contains information about the derived 
classes.

However, sometimes those derived classes are implemented in another 
dynamic loaded (dll/so) module.  The type of the derived classes will 
not be known at compile time.  How can cope with this?  Does the library 
provide any facilities to help the user in this situation?

Best regards,
Lirong
