Hello,

Last year before GSoC I started working on a remote invocation
library, it's in the sandbox:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/rpc/

I abandoned it when I started my GSoC project and I don't remember
documenting it very well (if at all), but maybe you'll find something
useful in there (or not).  I think the next step I was going to do was
to look at Boost.Extension and align the remote invocation stuff to
their interface.  But I never got to that, and probably won't for a
long long time.

Also, IIRC I contacted Jarl Lindrud to see if he wanted to collaborate
on boostifying his lib but back then he didn't have the time.  But I
don't think he was opposed to the idea.

Regards,

Stjepan
