[Boost-users] [random] Saving the state of the random number generator

If I'm using g++ then I can just use operator<< and operator>> to save
and load the state of the random number generator.  Unfortunately I
also need to compile this code on MSVC++ 8.0. Using MSVC++ 8.0 
BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS is defined which removes those
operators.  Is there some way to do this without modifying
mersenne_twister.hpp or doing something crazy like #define private
public?

Thanks,

Jeffrey
