-// actual link-time dependency on boost.date_time, even
-// though it's never referenced. So, avoid that on windows.
-// on Mac OS X and Linux, not including it results in
-// missing symbols. For some reason, this current setup
-// works, at least across windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
-// In the future this hack can be fixed by disabling

-// if TORRENT_NO_BOOST_DATE_TIME is not defined, it's
-// fine to include everything, including pulling in
-// the boost.date_time dependency via asio
