 The boost documentation claims that asio is a header-only library.
 However, it seems like it may have non-header-only dependencies. If one
 even includes the asio header, on Visual Studio 2008 Express edition you
 get the following linker error:

 LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc90-mt-
 gd-1_38.lib'

 The test program I used:


 {{{
 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 #include <boost/asio.hpp>

 using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

 int main()
 {
   return 0;
 }
 }}}
