Thanks for looking at this even though I didn't get time to respond to 
your first email. Is the only abi change the tr1 smart_ptr support? If 
so then I was planning on seeing if your suggestion for using boost to 
provide tr1 on WinCE would work, as that would certainly be cleaner.

Only for the transferring of interest in a socket, which I'm hoping to 
rework to avoid the need for this.

It's certainly an issue with the Microsoft compiler. I can't quite 
remember the issue but I think it was causing the mangled names of 
either methods with ProbeResult as a parameter or the type information 
(vtable etc.) for the class to not match up. I'll try to reproduce the 
issue and add a bit more detail to the commit message.

Toby
