> Visual Studio compilers have different header files.
> I looked through the files that qpid cpp uses for including Visual Studio header files. 
> It looks like most of the diffences in header files are set up in Boost.
> Boost uses the macro BOOST_WINDOWS.
> Maybe we could use PROTON_WINDOWS for including the windows header files. 
> If you don't want a new macro, we can use one of the Visual Studio specific  macro (_WINDOWS) 
> for the header files.
> It's not really a CPLUSPLUS vs. C issue, since many of the header files are specific to Windows.
> (for example winsock2.h which is used by C++ and C in Visual Studio).
> Also, some of the current header files are not used on Windows, but may be used by CYGWIN or MinGW.
> If this sounds okay, I'll set up a patch for including the necessary windows header files.
