The IOTest runs on my box :).

These will allow s11n over ssh :).

Extremely! :)

i am impressed :)

streambuf docs are extremely rare. Josutti's "The C++ Standard Library" 
are the most complete docs i've seen.

i will definately try it out - i want to get s11n-over-IO working again.

Quasi-related: please don't use IOManager at the moment. i'm still 
re-thinking about whether it's really needed. i'm not certain that it 
is.

What is the default skipws handling? Same as std::istream (skip)?

Thanks for the code! :)
