We've had some problems with boost serialization (mainly due to  
unreadable error messages from template functions...), and haven't  
been able to resurrect it before the release.  I just fixed the most  
obvious things in the trunk (which had to do with interface changes  
within Gecode), but the code still doesn't compile.  I must admit that  
I don't fully understand all the details of boost serialization, and I  
just don't know what's wrong with the current code - the compiler  
complains about ambiguous overloading of an operator<< for the type  
boost::archive::version_type.
If you need boost serialization, it would be great if you could have a  
look at what's wrong there.  If you don't need it, please just compile  
without the --with-boost switch.

Cheers,
	Guido
