Josh D commented on MSGPACK-12:
-------------------------------

Another vote for using Boost. I evaluated MessagePack-RPC and the and the system requirements are a non-starter. The genesis of this issue was to greatly improve compatibility, so I would prefer Boost.Thread over C++11 concurrency.

> MessagePack-RPC for C++ does not work on Win32 natively. This is a huge issue as MessagePack aims to be platform independent.
> In order to provide a platform independent C++ RPC library the MessagePack-RPC for C++ should use Boost.Asio and Boost.Thread instead of MPIO and pthreads. Boost is a de facto standard for most C++ development and far more supported than MPIO. The Boost libraries should be used if MessagePack-RPC for C++ aims to be platform independent.
