Yes, of course. The next major part on the TODO list is writing the documentation. But I would need some spare time again first...

It is not really dependent on the serialization library. The problem you are observing are caused by the autolink feature for MSVC. Just turn it off by defining
BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB
and everything should be fine.

There must be TO-DO items somewhere, but that doesn't help much if they don't get done.
