Using Boost for XML serialization

In UltraFluid, I add a feature that enable users to save and load diagrams as XML files. The jobs is done using boost 1.51 and its inner library called boost::serialization. It took me some time to adopt the library but is ok now. I made a clone of my objects with only C++ types because boost cannot handle my MFC types like CRect of CPoint. My XML document is a simple: vector<boost::shared_ptr<CSimpleShape> > m_shapes;

I have just transferred my own data type to the boost data type. To avoid namespace collision, I have put std:: prefix on every shared_ptr of my program. The problem is now that I handled two versions of STL in my applications. I should find a solution to use only boost STL.
