No idea yet?
:)
anyway ... if you want to take a look at the sources...
http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~carbone/property_tree/
Maybe I do something wrong and I have not well interpreted
how to write a template method of a non template class ..
But the result is so strange.... 24 MB for a lib is too much.

Andrea
