Hey Robert, if you start getting 70 billion from taxpayers, please let
me get in on it too. I did that talk one time at the place with the
people...

I use the library but even I don't think Boost Serialization should be
considered a de-facto standard. You need to make sure the library meets
your requirements first. Boost serialization currently does not
elegantly handle forward compatibility, for example. Everything else is
cool to me though.
