I'm probably dense but can anybody please tell me what problem you
are talking off at all? 'std::basic_filebuf' internally uses a
code conversion facet which is intended to convert an external
encoding into an internal representation. For example, a
'std::wistream' can read UTF-8, UTF-16, ..., at least if appropriate
code conversion facets are available. If they aren't shipped by the
vendor, they may be provided by the user.

I can understand that there is problem if your library vendor does
not ship UTF-8, UTF-16, ... code conversion facets and these might
have a place in the Boost library. However, since nobody mentioned
code conversion facets before, I fear something really bad is going
to happen if people try addressing this problem...
