Boost.Units io.hpp always includes Boost.serialization and an unwanted Clang warning

Description

I note that Boost.Units io.hpp always #includes serialization (a not inconsiderable amount of code to parse etc). It would be nice if Serialization could only be included when required (but perhaps this is troublesome?)

This became apparent when compiling using Clang 3.1 (Ruben van Boxem's mingw32) on Netbeans 7.2 on Windows 7 when this ugly warning appeared:

#define __declspec(a) __attribute__((a))
                                     ^
1 warning generated.

This also suggests that inappropriate dllexport attribute is being generated for Clang?
