I think you are correct here.  This really sounds like it could've
(should've?) been implemented using the serialization library and
maybe BGL or a generic tree structure (which I would love to be a
Boost library).

That way you get all of the traversal mechanisms available to the tree
(or graph) structure, and all of the archiving techniques available to
the serialization lib.
