#3394: boost::mpi not able to pass strings with non-char element types

     Type:  Bugs               |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  Boost 1.41.0       |   Component:  mpi    
  Version:  Boost 1.40.0       |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  mpi string         |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The last two checkouts I installed both failed passing strings through
 boost::mpi communication methods when the element type was not
 char.

 The distributed hello_world.cpp shows this when the strings are changed to
 wide strings (attached).

 Making the responsible methods generic on the string's element type fixes
 it (patch attached).

 However, I assume this is supposed to be handled by boost::serialization.
