Using Show & Read is the only really portable way to do this,
unfortunately. Sven Panne did a port of nhc's Binary library a while
back, which you can find on haskell.org, but it will certainly need some
work to get it going on recent GHC's.
We'd really like a good serialisation library, BTW, if anyone out there
feels like donating one!
Cheers,
Simon
