RE: [boost] Unexpected behaviour of boost::filesystem::equivalent

Does using last_write_time leave an opportunity for false negative
because it has been updated in between obtaining the value for each
filename?  Would using creation_time ( if available ) be safer ?

I couldn't see an easy way to determine the drive needed for calling 
::QueryDosDeviceA/W.

As an alternative, I removed the st_dev test and added a last_write_time

test. Documentation also updated. See current CVS. To make it easier to 
experiment, I also added in the test directory a program equivalent.cpp.

This seems to solve the problem.
