Another problem I ran into: In extension/impl/library_impl.hpp, line 22, a  
macro called WINDOWS_LEAN_AND_MEAN is checked (and possibly defined). This  
must be WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. This is important as Boost.Asio is confused  
if winsock.h is included by another library first (that's how I ran into  
it :).
