added m4 macros for boost C++ headers and libs, hopefully making better autoconf...

3 # SYNOPSIS
4 #
5 #   AX_BOOST_SERIALIZATION
6 #
7 # DESCRIPTION
8 #
9 #   Test for Serialization library from the Boost C++ libraries. The
10 #   macro requires a preceding call to AX_BOOST_BASE. Further
11 #   documentation is available at
12 #   <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
13 #
14 #   This macro calls:
15 #
16 #     AC_SUBST(BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LIB)
17 #
18 #   And sets:
19 #
20 #     HAVE_BOOST_SERIALIZATION
21 #
22 # LAST MODIFICATION
