[boost] [serialization] Cross-compiled binary archive

Hi all,

I need to make a modified version of binary archive so that it can read 
data serialized on a different platform. Specifically, I have a lot of 
files written with binary serializer on x86, and now I need to read them 
into application built on x64 platform ( sizeof(size_t) == 8 ).

Obvious place to fix would be the load() functions in 
boost\archive\impl\basic_binary_iprimitive.ipp, replacing the 
std::size_t declaration with unsigned int.

Are there less obvious places in the archive format that are dependent 
on the pointer size ?

Thanks
