You might already have seen my previous post.

All that is needed seems to be to port serialization.jam to support the 
bbv2 toolchain, using your <cxxflags>-I trick to get the include order 
correct. If you think this is reasonable we should just do it. We won't 
need to touch spirit as far as I can see at the moment.

What do you think?
