Is there a portable way to use the boost filesystem library to copy
files and preserve mtimes? I am writing a tool that moves media files
around and mtime can be significant when other sources of metadata are
absent (like exif, iptc, xmp).

It would be a bummer to have to add platform specific code to do that.

Thanks,
