Before you embark on the project you should be aware of some of the other libraries in the eco-system:

Also, ACE has tools for doing this, although the interface is quite complex and doesn't integrate with I/O streams.

And, of course, since you mention I/O stream integration (which I would expect), you will want to consider using the boost::iostream library. This library is now in CVS and will be part of 1.33. This will hopefully make the job easier.

One more reference. We had some discussion about something similar in mid-2004. AFAIK it never went anywhere: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg06882.php Jeff
