Comment:

 unfortunately, this makes it impossible to use previous versions of
 spirit.

 The borland compiler will only work with spirit 1.6x. On the other hand
 the borland compiler can't build the current version of the serialization
 library.  But, I've still had hope that this would one day be fixed.  When
 I pointed this out on on the list I got a huge amount of grief.

 Long term, a better solution would be to alter xml_grammar to work with
 the latest version of spirit.  Before doing this, one should check that it
 can be used in such a way as to be thread-safe as the current one can.  I
 have no plans to do this myself. (once is more than enough).

 So for now - nothing is going to changer here.

 So for now
