Re: [boost] Serializing a variant

I've implemented a de/serialization of variant using an extended
version of the "bencode" format from the BitTorrent protocol (see
http://bittorrent.com/protocol.html for more details).  I've extended
it to include the Boost gregorian date and posix_time types from the
date_time library.

Basically, there is a single character type specifier before each
value that you can use to trigger type-specific handling.

Attached are an implementation and an example program that exercises
the implementation as well as the new assign library (with a more
American style of football score :)
