MINGW is the platform which runs gcc compilers under winsoze.

I include all the visibility attribute in the "right" places with 
serialization build and tests.  This is looking like it's passing on all 
platforms EXCEPT MINGW.  I think MINGW uses the windows attributes, but 
I'm wonder if our boost setup uses the gcc macros.  This would explain 
the bahavior I'm getting now.  But honestly I really have no idea. 
here's the link to the appveyor results:

Perhaps this is a config issue? or I'm doing wrong?  I'm loath to much 
with this just for this one platform.
