Yep, I did it in the same way.

There is one more thing, I want to discuss.
I have done some performance tests of my "stream transporter" class that
uses shared_memory, interprocess_condition, interprocess_mutex.
And windows version was 2.5 times faster than linux.
When I turned linux version to BOOST_INTERPROCESS_USE_GENERIC_EMULATION it
produced the same speed.
The problem is that I had to edit boost header files to do so.

I think it would be nice to add ability to do it "externally".
