Excellent, thanks :)

Along those lines, has there been any thought about separating the io_service 
functionality into a separate library? A robust, tested work-thread queue system
has lots of applications aside from the (relatively) narrow purview of asio.
People might be more likely to find and use it if it's advertised as a more 
general purpose tool. Just a thought.
