We are using the Interprocess library to make use of shared memory
within our code. We are experiencing the following problem when building
on Windows.

Some of our projects are trying to include unistd.h from workaround.hpp.
It looks like this happens if BOOST_WINDOWS is not defined.
 
Tracing back through the header files I pieced together that
BOOST_WINDOWS is not defined if BOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 is defined
(win32.hpp). And BOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 gets defined if _MSC_EXTENSIONS is
not defined (visualc.hpp).

>From the MSDN documentation, _MSC_EXTENSIONS is not defined if the
Visual C++ Language Extensions are turned off, which in fact they are
for these projects.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a workaround for getting Boost
Interprocess to work on Windows in cases where the Visual C++ Language
Extensions are turned off?

Thanks,
Derek
