I'm not sure this would help.  Except for one minor change in the 
examples which shouldn't affect the testing, I believe that develop and 
master are in sync. Since windows tests on the master are quite old it 
may be the problem exists on the master but just aren't showing up there 
(yet).

I'm reluctant to starting doing any git jujitzu at this point as I'm 
trying to get everything hunky dory before next wednesday when a 1.60 
cut off is planned.

I don't know if this is easy/possible with the Boost Testing setup but 
when I run here, I can just switch and particular library between 
branches and run the tests.  That is, you might be able to locally just 
switch the serialization library to master and run the tests. Since this 
likely will give the same results, you'd actually have to switch the 
master to the 1.5 release version.

Rest assured that, as we speak, I'm trying to get out the last nits on 
the next version of the serialization library so hopefully the whole 
question will be moot soon.

I also believe that there is a pending issue related to visibility on 
GCC plaforms but I have to get other stuff fixed before I can look into 
this one.

Thanks for spending time on this.  Your work is very helpful and 
critically important to the success of Boost.
