Comment (by Jim Bell <jim@…>):

 The test compiles with BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK, and with that defined, archives
 select only export or import (based on BOOST_ARCHIVE_SOURCE). Are you
 introducing a third way? A new BOOST_ARCHIVE_... flag? Won't that break
 existing code?

 You say: ''Any test which uses the the library should import the symbols
 from the library/dll.''

 It does use the serialization DLL, but not the archive via DLL. In another
 situation, someone could put the archive in its own DLL, and would still
 use BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK. The only flag distinguishing these two cases seems
 to be BOOST_ARCHIVE_SOURCE.

 (Please forgive me for belaboring this.)
