My current plan is that each library which uses utf8 will do this:

   namespace boost { namespace whatever {
        #include "../../detail/utf8_codecvt.hpp";
   }}

so no conflicts will arise. Using anonymous namespace it a bit hard, since 
there's both header and source, and anonymous namesapce will be different in 
them.

I'll try.

Sure. Is new version in CVS?
