[Boost-users] Dynamically creating classed by name?

Is there any way that, using Boost, you can dynamically create classes by 
name, similar to the MFC RUNTIME_CLASS macros?  I was hoping that the 
boost::serialize libs might be able to help with this.

For example, I want to be able to do something like:

CMyClass* pClass = CREATE_CLASS_BY_NAME("CMyClass");

Can Boost help me to achieve this?
