What does the facet need to do?
Cheers

The way to do this is to

a) make a custom codecvt facet for the i/o stream.
b) open an instance of the output/input stream with this codecvt facet
c) use this stream when creating save/loading archives
d) use as normal.

boost iostreams might provide another way to do this.

boost serialization has code in it for encoding/decoding
data as base64.  This code would be used to implement
the codecvt facet as described above.
