[boost] [serialization] portable non-floating-point binary library.

Hi all, If adding floating point support to portable binary serialization is so hard/time-consuming, why not just have a portable non-floating-point binary library in boost as an intermediate step? Surely it would be more convenient for the community, instead of having to build in or make a library out of the files in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/libs/serialization/example. (I did search the archives and couldn't find any answers, if I missed some threads please point them out.) Thanks, Mostafa
