One way would be to use the serialization function that writes to
std::ostream together with a compressing stream from the Boost
Iostreams library:

http://www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html

Alternatively you could customize the ofstream/basic_filebuf to
compress the data before writing it to a file (e.g., by overriding
the overflow() function).
