[boost] program_options problem on platforms with incomplete wchar_t

Hello,

Looking at program_options headers, it does not appear to guard 
against BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING being defined?

This poses a problem when using gcc on platforms such as Solaris, 
HP-UX, as functions like std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, 
__mbstate_t>::do_length(...) are not defined in the libstdc++.

Is this a know problem, should I come up with a patch, or what?

Regards,

Harri Pasanen
