Re: [boost] RC_1_30_0 filesystem broken

Agreed, something is amiss.  I've read the docs several times and all they 
seem to say is "everything is in the template includes".

"Filesystem Library components are supplied by several headers, all in 
directory boost/filesystem:"

my #includes aren't failing, or doesn't the above say what it appears to 
(i.e. there are NO installation requirements for using filesystem, just 
point at the correct includes)

it APPEARS that some library is needed.  What this library is, I do NOT 
know.  I can find no reference to any such in the documents, and I note, in 
passing, that bjam from the root of boost will build no such libraries.

So it's likely not the filesystem CODE that is broken, perhaps it is only 
the documents.
