We use ASIO and wxWidgets together extensively.  IME, you *must*
include boost/asio.hpp *before* any wx includes (i.e. before including
windows.h).  Otherwise, the wrong version of winsock will be defined
by windows.h, giving compile errors.

Additionally, you may need to define WX_LEAN_AND_MEAN (as opposed to
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN) and NOMINMAX.  Given the error you're reporting,
I suspect you need to define WX_LEAN_AND_MEAN.  Not sure if there is
another work-around.
