Thanks...I went ahead and added the NVP wrappers and it works.  Still, I 
would like to see std::bitset support actually added to the library.  I 
was a bit surprised when I didn't find it, especially after reading this 
line in the library documentation:

"The serialization library contains code for serialization of all STL 
classes."
