Comment (by Ionut Craioveanu <mosteaca@…>):

 Please see attached file to get a glimpse of what i'm talking about.
 It's a small compare of one Io_Service.
 The things is, if you try to compile the ASIO example from within Eclipse
 (windows) with Cygwin as compiler, you'll not be able to get an
 executable.
 Looking at the code snippet, all i can think of is, usage of Winsock.

 The basic thing is ... there is a difference between BOOST official
 releases and Cygwin release.
 As developer, i'll be limited to Cygwin boost which is not necessarily
 good.
 Why not synch them?
