I've applied the patch, but am concerned about the name of the 
BOOST_NO_ANSI_APIS macro.

For clarity, I'd prefer the name indicate that this is a Windows 
workaround. Perhaps BOOST_NO_WINDOWS_ANSI_API?

Is this something used by other libraries? If it is specific to 
Boost.System, I'd prefer BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_WINDOWS_ANSI_API.

Thanks,
