Even if BOOST_WAVE_SERIALIZATION is defined to != 0 during compilation of
the library (the *.cpp files) there will be no dependency on
Boost.Serialization at runtime as long as the user doesn't define this
constant during the compilation of his application.

But I'll have a look and try to factor out the direct dependencies on
serialization headers into separate headers.
