Instead of rolling another serialization in svn, what about using protobuf for C?

http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-c/

I has an Apache 2 license, so will be compatible with us.

Another one to consider is using Thrift, which writes C code:

http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/

On advantage to these serialization tools is that they are extensible, so we can always add additional fields to the serialized structs and not break binary compatibility.
