[boost] Requests for changes in 1.33 related to serialization

I want to suggest 2 changes that would be helpful at least to me, that
relate to serialization.

I use serialization with mersenne_twister and python.  To support this 2
changes are needed:

1) serialization must be build as a shared library.  I know this doesn't
work on all platforms, but I believe it works on at least some, and
therefore should be supported.

2) Please add support for serialization to mersenne_twister.hpp.  All that's
needed is this:

 template<class Archive>
  void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version)
  {
    ar & x;
    ar & i;
  }
