Comment:

 well, I admit I'm a complete boost::noob.

 I found myself in this situation: had to modify some ASIO code writted by
 someone else. But timeout is absolutely needed.

 I have to tell you, sadly the solution that required less study/dev time
 was: drop asio, use my own socket class.

 please, reconsider. you could use some #ifdef directive if you don't want
 dependences asio<->timers or whatever else, but in 2k13 a socket class
 without timeout is not exactly "useful"
