It looks like you are following the tutorial from asio 0.3.2 (or
earlier) but trying to compile against 0.3.3. There were changes to the
timer stuff in 0.3.3 such that it is now called deadline_timer and uses
the Boost.Date_Time classes. The line you added should now look like:

  asio::deadline_timer t(d, boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

Sounds like a good idea. I'll include a change to autolink it in 0.3.4.
