Hello Beman,

I've used your lib on WIN32 VC7.1 and function's fs::exists behavior was not correct. After applying the following change it works fine:

operations_posix_windows.cpp:358
- if(::GetFileAttributesA( ph.string().c_str() ) == 0xFFFFFFFF)
+ if(::GetFileAttributesA( ph.native_file_string().c_str() ) == 0xFFFFFFFF)

I just wonder why test cases are happy in both cases?

Best,
Oleg Abrosimov.
