Isn't matlab capable of reading hdf5 files? That might be a reasonable target for boost::serialization.

True - Matlab has HDF5 IO support. However, HDF5 has a very poor c++ interface. While I would applaud a robust C++ interface for HDF5, I think that for boost to support it as an output target currently would be a painful endeavor.

It is probably a better idea to build a MEX interface where the C++ classes are loaded natively and exported to Matlab.
