 *
 * This sample program by Francois Mauger illustrates how to use the
 * `boost/math/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp'  material  from the  original
 * Floating Point  Utilities contribution by  Johan Rade.  Here  it is
 * shown  how  non  finite  floating  number  can  be  serialized  and
 * deserialized from  I/O streams and/or Boost  text/XML archives.  It
 * produces two archives stored in `test.txt' and `test.xml' files.
 *
 * Tested with Boost 1.44, gcc 4.4.1, Linux/i686 (32bits).
 * Tested with Boost.1.46.1  MSVC 10.0 32 bit.
