What about a single program that writes to stringstreams, reads
the data back in (instantiates everything) and compares
the values prior and after the I/O?

I'm thinking about automated testing, so I'd rather have
a longish #ifdef list at the top of the program to deal
with the implementation-specifics than some funny command-line
parameters.
