There isn't really a collision here -- they are in different namespaces.  Or
are you doing a using namespace boost; using namespace boost::filesystem in
your code?

I did it both ways with no problem, but then I didn't have any code
referencing the filesystem functions.  You might need to post the error a bit
more detail (compiler, platform) for us to really get to the problem...
