Please add the Filesystem Library to the queue for a Formal Review.

The library can be downloaded from 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/filesystem/filesystem.zip

It is also available in the Boost sandbox CVS on SourceForge.  See 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/

This release includes several improvements suggested by Thomas Witt and 
Baptiste Lepilleur.

The current implementation has been tested under Windows 2000, and passes 
the regression tests for Borland, GCC 3.1, Intel 6.0, Metrowerks 8.1, and 
Microsoft VC++ 7.0.  Most of the library can be used with VC++ 6.0, but the 
fstream.hpp header won't work due to a VC++ library bug.  An earlier 
version  passed the tests on Linux/GCC.

The current implementation is supposed to work on any POSIX system, but 
that support hasn't been fully tested.  Reports of tests on POSIX systems 
would be appreciated.
