I think CSIDL_APPDATA is not the correct flag, we're using the following
args to SHGetFolderPath, and it appears to work

   char path[MAX_PATH];
   bool success = SUCCEEDED(SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL |
CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE, NULL, 0, path))));

..and I think this would be a most useful addition to boost::filesystem.

HTH,
