   portability reasons, probably should) use forward slashes in
   ``#include`` directives; your compiler doesn't care.

.. |windows-version-name-caveat| replace:: **On Windows, append a version
   number even if you only have one version installed** (unless you
   are using the msvc or gcc toolsets, which have special version
   detection code) or `auto-linking`_ will fail.
