Comment:

 Fixed by adding:

 #define BOOST_ERROR_CODE_HEADER_ONLY

 before including boost headers.

 Given that this undocumented feature appears to work properly now
 (outstanding bug seems to have been recently fixed), said feature should
 probably be documented.

 Not the problem of ASIO module owner.  Changing to documentation.
