#4660: Error read binary archive, created by old boost version

Comment (by ramey):

 I have checked in changes to the trunk to address this. Please feel free
 to verify that they have addressed the problem.

 I would love to have tests to verify compatibility with previous archives
 - especially binary ones. There are a lot of problems with this though.

 a) It's a heck of a lot of work.
 b) The serialization library already stretches testing facilities to the
 breaking point. It has a fairly large number of tests which are run with
 all the different archive implementations. It has been referred to as
 "carpet bombing".

 If someone want's to do this I would support the effort though.
