In the course of making the auto-linking optional. It became necessary to require that all archive/*.hpp headers be included before all serialization/*.hpp headers. Before this was only enforced for those programs which included serialization/export.hpp. This new requirement broke some of my own tests with very confusing errors. So I added code to explicitly verify that this requirement is met and emit a useful compile time error message. Downsiide will break some user code and tests Upside the break will be trivial to detect and fix inclusion of serialization/*.hpp will not trigger requirement for the pre-compiled library. In the past, this prevented BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT(T) from being in the header for class T, where it logically belonged. Several people complained about this. With auto-linking, the libraries were required every time a serialization/*.hpp file was included - even though nothing was invoked. All this should be fixed now. Also, Rene has discovered the way to get the Metrowerks tests to pass. Overlapped on my changes above are his to address this problem. So for a day or two there may be some confusion but hopefully the final result will be much better test results and a much more useful serialization package.

I didn't look at the check-in logs, but in the last 24-48 hours a host of previously passing date-time serialization tests have started to fail. In particular code warrior 9-4, various gcc, and vc7 were previously passing. I haven't made any check-ins to date-time, so unless someone else has I expect the problem is elsewhere...
