That's what all the other tests do. These tests verify that that an archive 
saved under one version can be loaded when the class version is changed. 
Class version is a program wide compile time seriailization trait for a 
class so one can't really can't have a single executable which saves under 
an old version and loads under a newer one.  That is why these tests are 
separate.  I had hope that the bjam would permit DEPENDS syntax like 
test_load_xml.run requires test_save_xml.run.  In fact the bjam syntax does 
permit it but it has no effect.  I would hope that bjam v2 addresses this 
issue in some way though I havn't checked.
