Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0          |   Component:  date_time 
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0          |    Severity:  Problem

----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 The header <boost/date_time/filetime_functions.hpp> includes <windows.h>
 by default, and there is no way to turn this off (e.g.
 BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H). This is a problem as this brings in the
 min,max,ERROR,etc. macros in. (This header is included if you include
 <boost/date_time.hpp>

 As date_time has to be compiled anyway, it would be very nice to have this
 functionality in the library somewhere and not include <windows.h>.
