 * \file portable_iarchive.hpp
 * \brief Provides an archive to read from portable binary files.
 * \author christian.pfligersdorffer@eos.info
 * \version 3.1
 *
 * This archive (pair) brings the advantanges of binary streams to the cross
 * platform boost::serialization user. While being almost as fast as the native
 * binary archive it allows its files to be exchanged between cpu architectures
 * using different byte order (endianness). Speaking of speed: in serializing
 * numbers the (portable) binary approach is approximately ten times faster than
 * the ascii implementation that is inherently portable!
 *
 * Based on the portable archive example by Robert Ramey this implementation
 * uses Beman Dawes endian library and fp_utilities from Johan Rade, both being
 * in boost since 1.36. Prior to that you need to add them both (header only)
 * to your boost directory before you're able to use the archives provided. 
 * Our archives have been tested successfully for boost versions 1.33 to 1.38!
 *
 * \note Correct behaviour has so far been confirmed using PowerPC-32, x86-32
 *       and x86-64 platforms featuring different byte order. So there is a good
 *       chance it will instantly work for your specific setup. If you encounter
 *       problems or have suggestions please contact the author.
 *
 * \note A few fixes introduced in version 3.1 let the archives pass all of the
 *       serialization tests. Thanks to Sergey Morozov for running the tests.
 *       Wouter Bijlsma pointed out where to find the fp_utilities and endian
 *       libraries headers inside the boost distribution. I would never have
 *       found them so thank him it works now out of the box since boost 1.36.
 *
 * \note With Version 3.0 the archives have been made portable across different
 *       boost versions. For that purpose a header is added to the data that
 *       supplies the underlying serialization library version. Backwards
 *       compatibility is maintained by assuming library version boost-1.33 if
 *       the iarchive is created using the no_header flag. Whether a header is
 *       present or not can be guessed by peeking into the stream: the header's
 *       first byte is the magic number 127 coinciding with 'e' | 'o' | 's' :-)
 *
 * \note Version 2.1 removes several compiler warnings and enhances floating
 *       point diagnostics to inform the user if some preconditions are violated
 *		 on his platform. We do not strive for the universally portable solution
 *       in binary floating point serialization as desired by some boost users.
 *       Instead we support only the most widely used IEEE 754 format and try to
 *       detect when requirements are not met and hence our approach must fail.
 *       Contributions we made by Johan Rade and �kos Mar�y.
 *
 * \note Version 1.0 contained a serious bug that effectively transformed most
 *       of negative integral values into positive values! For example the two
 *       numbers -12 and 234 were stored in the same 8-bit pattern and later
 *       always restored to 234. This was fixed in this version in a way that
 *       does not change the interpretation of existing archives that did work
 *       because there were no negative numbers. The other way round archives
 *       created by version 2.x and containing negative numbers will raise an
 *       integer type size exception when reading it with version 1.0. Thanks to
 *       Markus Frohnmaier for testing the archives and finding the bug.

   * \brief Portable binary input archive using little endian format.
   *
   * This archive addresses integer size, endianness and floating point types so
   * that data can be transferred across different systems. There may still be
   * constraints as to what systems are compatible and the user will have to take
   * care that e.g. a very large int being saved on a 64 bit machine will result
   * in a portable_archive_exception if loaded into an int on a 32 bit system.
   * A possible workaround to this would be to use fixed types like
   * boost::uint64_t in your serialization structures.
   *
   * \note The class is based on the portable binary example by Robert Ramey and
   *	     uses Beman Dawes endian library plus fp_utilities by Johan Rade.
   *
   * \todo Robert Ramey changed his example in boost 1.36 and no longer inherits
   *       from binary_iarchive_impl but goes down to basic_binary_iprimitive!?

      * is *not* guaranteed to give you all bits of the floating point number. It
      * will give you all bits if and only if there is an integer type that has
      * the same size as the floating point you are copying from. It will not
      * give you all bits for double if there is no uint64_t. It will not give
      * you all bits for long double if sizeof(long double) > 8 or there is no
      * uint64_t. 
      * 
      * The member fp_traits<T>::type::coverage will tell you whether all bits
      * are copied. This is a typedef for either math::detail::all_bits or
      * math::detail::not_all_bits. 
      * 
      * If the function does not copy all bits, then it will copy the most
      * significant bits. So if you serialize and deserialize the way you
      * describe, and fp_traits<T>::type::coverage is math::detail::not_all_bits,
      * then your floating point numbers will be truncated. This will introduce
      * small rounding off errors.
