Re the remaining serialization test failures.

Incorporating Rene's fix and rolling back a change that looked innocuous 
pretty much addressed all the serialization problems that I think I can fix. 
There are a couple of remaining ones.

MSVC 6.5 - text_exported was broken by fixes included to remove unnecessary 
header dependencies - it now provokes a compiler ICE.

Borland
    Test_shared_ptr now fails.  This is annoying because on my borland tests 
this passes.  The message is
Error E2451 
C:\Users\Administrator\boost\main\boost\boost/mpl/aux_/integral_wrapper.hpp 
45: Undefined symbol 'N' in function 
archive::detail::iserializer<archive::binary_iarchive,shared_ptr<A> 
 >::tracking(const unsigned int) const
Error E2230 
C:\Users\Administrator\boost\main\boost\boost/mpl/aux_/integral_wrapper.hpp 
45: In-line data member initialization requires an integral constant 
expression in function 
archive::detail::iserializer<archive::binary_iarchive,shared_ptr<A> 
 >::tracking(const unsigned int) const

which suggests to me that this could be easily addressed by someone who has 
an interest and can reproduce the problem on his machine.

I also notice that my borland 5.64 uses a different STL version than the one 
in the test matrix.  So the test matrix fails on test_set while my own tests 
pass here.

Other failures are not new and have failed to yield to efforts in the past.

So we're down to a couple of regressions on less important platforms.  If 
it's any consolation, there is a comparable number of new "passes".  In 
anycase, I feel that that's the best I can do for now.
