0mq does not handle serialization at all. It just pass a binary blobs of
data.

I think, that ICE is closer to your needs, as it is less than a CORBA, more
than a message passing.

P.S. My team is using a kind of custom, QNX-like message passing library
(planned to be moved to 0mq)
together with boost::archive compatible XDR serializer. We found it easier
to interface with C++ than writing
a IDLs. Also we did not want to have any dynamic memory allocation on the
route, because of real-time
requirements. This is the reason we choose not to use google protocol
buffers or any kind of XML.
