I don't know about the application you want to build. But in case it depends
on Boost.Serialization then you can build it with Spirit 1.6. 

According to the explanation in the section "Requirements" of 
<URL:http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/release.html> the setup seems
to be quite simple. I don't have first hand experience with
Boost.Serialization and MSVC, though.
