Hi, Pete!

If you do, i wanna add support to it for my serialization layer:
  http://s11n.net
One of the major inspirations behind that library was the work i did on 
saving/loading on DM a couple years ago. i never had good code for 
loading the object tree, and that always frustrated me. That lib 
eliminates those problems. That said, it may have some requirements you 
can't live with (like a recent C++ compiler [gcc 3.2+]). Also, the 
classload itself is quite interesting, and may be useful in DM. See:
http://s11n.net/class_loader/

If you manage to do that, i'd like a copy to run on myself ;).
