Actually, it's not really difficult.
hex() is done, unhex() is up to someone else, cause I've got to go:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include <boost/spirit/include/qi.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/karma.hpp>

namespace hex_cast
{
    template<class T>
    std::string hex(T const& input)
    {
        typedef typename T::const_iterator iterator_t;

        std::string temp;
        temp.reserve(input.size() * sizeof(typename T::value_type) * 2);

        iterator_t it(input.begin()), end(input.end());

        using boost::spirit::karma::generate;
        using boost::spirit::karma::hex;

        for(; it != end; ++it)
            generate(std::back_inserter(temp), hex, *it);

        return temp;
    }
}

int main()
{
    std::string s("abode");
    std::cout << hex_cast::hex(s) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
