Then, maybe we should not spend much more time getting serialization tests to work with borland, because even if you or Roland succeed in making all tests green, then users might think everything is OK, while in practice they should follow non-trivial procedure to get it to work.
What do you think?
Either we do have a simple enough procedure for the user to follow (which we don't have yet) or we shouldn't waste more time to get the serialization regressions to run for 1.34. Also a user that really needs serialization always can opt. to use an older version of boost serialization. Having said this I nevertheless think it will be fine if Nicola can mange it to provide a working back ported version for the both compilers. This very well can be done after the release of 1.34. So my vote is for flagging serialization as "n/a The library author marked it as unusable on this particular platform/toolset." for msvc-6.5 and borland-5.8.2 The last word of course is up to Thomas Witt.
