I notice that Boost.Context only seems to support MSVC under Windows, and attempts to compile it under GCC or Intel C++ will fail because it's not correctly assembling fcontext_i386_ms_pe_masm/fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm. e.g. Under Intel I get: intel-win.compile.asm

This occurs for both 64-bit and 32-bit compilation. Is this a known issue with a planned fix? Or is MSVC the only compiler supported under Windows? (I know it's a pain because GCC afaik uses a different assembly syntax... Not sure about Intel.) As an aside, Boost.Context does not yet seem to have an entry in Trac. Thanks.
