+MSVC 6.0 SP6: You'll need Boost version 1.34 because they dropped support
+for MSVC 6.0 after that. However, they didn't add Asio until 1.35.
+You should still be able to build with MSVC 6.0 by adding Asio to 1.34 by
+unpacking boost_asio_*.zip into the boost directory:

+MSVC 8.0 (2005) SP1 has been tested. Note: MSVC 7.0 and up have a habit of
+linking to runtime DLLs that are not installed on XP by default.
