Hi Boost- Devs

I noticed a problem with the use of asio together with the test program exec
monitor. If you include the prg_exec_monitor.hpp before the asio.hpp the
boost.test lib includes winsock.h. In the next step asio includes the
winsock2.h. The result is that there are many redefinition errors like
these:

Perhaps someone can add a notice about this situation to the docs.
