I'd like to make Boost.System available for header-only use, but IIRC
the suggested changes broke some other libraries that use
Boost.System.

Also, I'd like to see a Boost guideline worked out for how to make
libraries header only without dumping vast numbers of names for
operating system headers into the global namespace.
