warning caused by size_t to unsigned int conversion on vc++8

[nobody]

This is in collections_save_imp.hpp, line 36:

unsigned int count = s.size();

I get a warning under vc++8:

c:\boost\include\boost-1_33\boost\serialization\collections_save_imp.hpp(36)
: warning C4267: 'initializing' : conversion from
'size_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

I don't know if this is a foolish warning or not, or if
changing to size_t would be detrimental to other
platforms, but I thought I'd point it out just in case.

its innocuous

We may in the future make some changes one of the effects 
will be to eliminate this warning.  Currenlty, the serialization 
library is limited to saving 2 giga stl objects.  This warning is 
a reflaction of the fact that some 64 bit machines might be 
able to have more than that in memory.

THe warning can be ignored unless you plan to serialize a 
collection with more thatn 4G elements.

currently number of elements is in a collection to be 
serialized is limited to to 4 G.  This will be relaxed in a 
future release.
