Maybe it could help a little bit to replace 'algorithm' by 'algo' and 
'string' by 'str'.

IMHO, also shorter namespaces like 'boost::filesystem' have the problem 
of beeing too long to be used on every access. Long typenames like 
boost::filesystem::directory_iterator have a very high capability to 
make the code unreadable very quickly.
