It seems I've succeeded in getting my serialization project checked in.

And I have a couple of questions regarding testing.
a) in order for libraries to be built for Borland and VC 6.0 which don't support Spirit 1.8 but do support spirit 1.6, the Jamfile checks for the environmental variable SPIRIT_ROOT and if found presumes it contains the root of the directory where Spirit 1.6 is located. This has worked well in my local environment. An environment which tests this library for these compilers will also need to have Spirit 1.6 installed and have the SPIRIT_ROOT variable set accordingly. I don't know who I should inform about this.
That's not going to work well in the Boost regression suite. Tests get run against a current copy of the Boost tree, and we don't have any provision to check out (say) an old branch of Spirit. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
