I think this has been requested before, but maybe now with 
Beman's new (and nice) "endian" library, it's time to put 
together a portable (cross-platform) binary archive scheme 
(maybe more than one) for Boost.Serialization.

I have yet to use Boost.Serialization, so I don't know the 
issues or scope of effort, but would be happy to volunteer 
some help (and it would be a good excuse to start learning 
B.S).
