headers.h defines _WIN32_WINNT as 0x400 (targeting Windows 98?). This hits various problems with recent boost and windows SDK versions, namely 'InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount' definition errors and this (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4487) problem with boost filesystem. Does anyone really need bitcoin on win98? (I doubt it'd even run there due to other dependencies). I have modified the definition to 0x500 in my repository (targeting Windows 2000 and later) and suggest the change be applied upstream. The changeset is here: https://bitbucket.org/dkaparis/bitcoin-cmake/changeset/0f2875f92c12
