Summary: native_file_string broken (returns stack object)

Initial Comment:
boost lib 'filesystem'
on Windows, native_file_string() allocates a
std::string on the stack and returns it.  the
std::string is deleted when native_file_string()
returns, and the calling function cannot know the
return value (ie, the path)

The only fix I can see (assuming you don't want to
change the API) is to allocate the std::string on the
heap and return that, depending on the caller to delete it.
