Re: [boost] Bug in 1.35: header inclusion order dependencyintroduced between recursive_mutex.hpp and asio.hpp on Windows

That's a useful idea, but doesn't alter the fact that date_time 1.35 has
broken previously working code and should be altered to work
harmoniously with other boost libraries.
The windows include order dependencies are a nightmare and I think it's
the responsibility of libs that force their inclusion to avoid making
the situation worse than it is.
In other words, if there are include order dependencies in boost it's a
bug, IMO.
