[boost] Library request: pstream / socketstream / serial stream

Hi,

At our labs we share the desire for a C++ iostreams implementation that 
deals with these problem domains:
1. Inter-process communications, including simple popen-type usage, like 
a scripting language; also pipes for forking
2. Socket communications, TCP UDP and unix
3. Serial communications, and a wrapper to set the serial parameters

For 1. and 2., we are currently using the socket++ library. I am also 
aware of the PStreams library for 1.
for 3. we use hacked together mix of C and C++.

Is there any sort of joint strategy planned to tackle this area? If 
there is, I may be able to contribute.

Marc
