Summary: boost::filesystem::exists is broken on cygwin

Initial Comment:
Compile the following code snippet:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>

int main()
{
  boost::filesystem::path p = "/usr";
  if (!boost::filesystem::exists(p))
    std::cerr << p.string() << " doesn't exist
according to boost::filesystem" << std::endl;
}

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 vmware 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07
i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

$ g++ -g -I"/usr/src/install/3.3.1/include/boost-1_31"
test.cc -L"/usr/src/install/3.3.1/lib"
-lboost_filesystem-gcc-d-1_31
$ ./a.exe
/usr doesn't exist according to boost::filesystem

Needless to say that /usr does exist:

$ ls -ld /usr
drwxrwxrwx+  18 carlo    Gebruike     4096 Aug  8 14:49
/usr
