MSVC doesn't support inline assembler for ARM and x86-64, two 
architectures supported by Boost.Context.

Even if it did, multiple versions would still be required because 
different compilers use different dialects of assembler.

I think it's a good idea to stick to a single version of the file for 
maintenance purposes.
