I don't care why your library does this, it is not my problem.
The only thing I notice is that Boost is regularly impeded and held back 
by your library, and that it takes several iterations and several weeks 
to get you to revert things to how they were before.
This is a major annoyance.

You say you don't understand the error message, I tell you what it means.
Clearly if something is already defined in a header, you can't redefine it.

It could be that your header only works if it's included *before* 
stdlib.h. In which case, that's very fragile.
