Yes. The point of winapi.hpp is to avoid <windows.h> but it seems that the
.NET strict checks interfere.

If you find a way to make winapi.hpp work in /clr mode without including
<windows.h> let me know. The other option is to include your version in
#ifdef BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H (or is there a predefined macro to detect /clr?)
