Boost::MPI uses Boost::serialization for marshalling data and sending 
them in a pervasive way.

I have a small scale implementation of MPI running on the Cell processor 
and I'm trying to patch boost::mpi to use it. However, as serialization 
seems ot use iostream or sstream at some point, the resulting executable 
blow up the 256Kb limits of SPE local store.

How deep is iostream needed by serialization and how can I limit this 
dependance so I can have a proper Cell-enabled boost::mpi ?
