hi,

i'm having difficulty compiling my program which uses 
boost::interprocess under windows. it compiles successfully under OS X.

./debug\enginesync.o: In function 
`ZN5boost12interprocess6winapi16co_uninitializerD1Ev':

i'm using mingw32 gcc 4.7, boost 1.53, under windows xp 32 bit.

any assistance would be appreciated.
