--------------------------------------------------------------+-------------
 There are two macros related to the WinAPI FILETIME-related functions:
 BOOST_HAS_FTIME and BOOST_NO_GETSYSTEMTIMEASFILETIME. The first one is
 documented as the one that is defined if the GetSystemTimeAsFileTime API
 is available, whereas the second one is defined when it's not (while other
 functions and the FILETIME type itself are available). On Windows Mobile
 it is possible to get both these macros defined, which is quite
 contradictory to the documentation.

 I believe, docs and tests should be corrected so that BOOST_HAS_FTIME is
 defined if the FILETIME type is available, and
 BOOST_NO_GETSYSTEMTIMEASFILETIME is only defined when the
 GetSystemTimeAsFileTime function is not available. A quick search shows
 that these macros are only used in Boost.DateTime and in the described
 meaning.
