i'll try that in the next time and post the results of this experiment; 
be the way, i've now compiled my app in win succesfully by putting 
evrything which is somehow connected to year_based_generator into
#ifndef WIN32_COMPILE .... #endif. that isn't too bad for the moment,

other parts of my prog [except unit tests]. but sooner or later i will ...
