[winapi] Major changes in develop
Hi, I've just merged a largely reworked version of Boost.WinAPI to develop. It fixes a few bugs and also changes the implementation for better conformance with the C++ standard. Hopefully, it should fix compilation issues with clang on Windows. Another significant change is that Boost.WinAPI targets Windows Vista and later by default. As before, it is possible to explicitly select another version to target by defining BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION. For example, to build Boost for Windows XP one would invoke: b2 define=BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION=0x0501 If anyone has problems with this change, please let me know.

Versions of mingw/gcc, which are gcc 4.8.1-4 and below, fail because their windows.h names for some things are not the same as being used by winapi, even when i use the define above. This also goes for clang, which targets mingw/gcc 4.8.1-4. Most noticeable is _RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION with their name being _CRITICAL_SECTION instead.

I am working on some workarounds and will submit them as a PR when it is ready. BTW it is possible to know whether mingw or mingw-64 is being used, both with gcc and clang. My PR will incorporate this knowledge for winapi in a clean way.
