IIRC, the particular problem with CRITICAL_SECTION has been fixed, but the 
general problem with the MSVC bug making everything boost:: and 
boost::detail:: visible in the global namespace has not been. The header 
needs to be updated to not rely on an using directive (on non-Borland 
compilers as well).
