[pclasses-devel] okay, so i lied...

i realized an hour ago that there is one Serializer in s11n which is 
build-portable (most need flex): expat_serializer.

So... i've ported in the "basic" i/o layer and the expat serializer. i 
haven't yet tested it since porting the factory code to P, but it at 
least builds and links after the changes. The only significant feature 
which was lost in this transition was the transparent support for 
compressed files. i have a feeling that will be added to P at some 
point, though :).

What this means is that we'll have access to at least one file-capable 
Serializer soon, but this requires linking against libexpat (which is 
already on most Unix machines).

This port of the s11n tree is helping me figure out what needs to change 
in s11n 1.1 :).

Good night!
