[Boost-testing] CW and serialization question - nodeadcode

Rene found the magic to make the majority of the serialization test pass.
However, the tests which use "export" still don't pass.  I still believe
there is overzealous optimization by the linker? which eliminates code for
types not explicitly referred to by name.  Using he mw -help comand I see
there is a swithc [no]deadcode.  This would seem to be relevant to the
situation here.  Its not clear what the default is and what the switch
setting should be or even if its relevant.

I believe Rene experimented with before but it wasn't helpful - but that was
before he found some other problems.  I would like to see if someone could
experiment with this some more to see if we can the rest of the CW tests to
pass.
