Comment(by ulit at eikon dot com):

 Same here as found by Mike and staffan: painful and long search why
 boost::any didn't work across library boundaries.

 When the patch above is not acceptable: please consider an additional cast
 function (e.g. "any_cast_by_name") which does the type comparision based
 on strings.
