Comment (by ramey):

 I will fix this --- eventually.

 It's not a trivial fix.  This is because (out of necessity) I broke a rule
 and coupled serialization of boost::shared_ptr to the archive clesses.  I
 hated to do it but I felt I had to include boost::shared_ptr.  Now we have
 shared_ptr which is also not serializable without extra help.  The real
 solution is to enhance the archive classes to include some more API to
 handle classes not normally serializable.
