yes, underful thought.
BUT I ain't getting paid for this. Also the codebase is quite large, and internally they use 1.36, so I don't think porting is an easy task.
And its not my library, neither do I have time to convert etc.
All I want is to use it, as it seems to work.

As of now, I use boost::system::error_code(e.value(),generic_category()) which seems to get me a valid object.
But still I doubt that the conversion is correct, so I might just pipe the errormessage into my API instead of the full error_code object.
