Subject: [boost] Boost.Atomic on Windows, patch

Hi.

I have noticed that boost/atomic/detail/generic-cas.hpp is directly
including Windows.h header. I consider this problematic for WinSock
using applications as Windows.h automatically pulls in Winsock.h, the
WinSock 1 header. This is problematic because it requires users that
want to use WinSock 2 to order their include of WinSock2.h before
inclusion of Boost.Atomic. At this point in time anybody serious about
sockets on Windows really do not want to use WinSock 1 but version 2
instead. So I suggest the attached patch.
