Hi Mika,

I didn't see your email till later,
in the meantime, I have also created a github repo with some slightly
different fixes,
and I added a method of getting eos to work in windows in a DLL.

https://github.com/paulharris/serialization

Also, have you noticed that it loads a binary array of integers one integer
at a time?
I wonder if there is a way we could
enable BOOST_SERIALIZATION_USE_ARRAY_OPTIMIZATION(eos::portable_iarchive)
it would mean implementing ar.save_array() for the eos archive.

cheers,
Paul
