Have you seen this one:

http://www.codeproject.com/threads/Rcf_Ipc_For_Cpp.asp

It contains more than just the basic marshalling, and is extremely simple to 
use. It can optionally make use of Boost.Serialization as well as Boost.Asio 
(for transport). Also, pluggable support for e.g. SSL is possible.

The author seems to be a bit reluctant to boostify the code, but I believe 
that this is more due to the work involved than anything else.
