Hi Bedeho,

I suspect the errors are the result of a change I made today in master.
I'll look into it.

The define warning pertains to your project. All libbitcoin VS. projects
declare Windows XP SP2 as the build target:

_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600

If you currently have no reason to do otherwise I'd recommend you do the
same in your project.
