Yes.  I'm looking at:

//====================================================
Yeah, I think that's possible. So I'm going to:

1. put new header to boost/detail
2. put new source to libs/detail/utf
3. #include new source in program_options.
//====================================================

I don't think any #include to the "libs" directory is a good idea.  It works
only if an expanded Boost archive stays as-is.  If the sub-directories are
scattered, e.g. to meet Unix header placements, then the idea fails.  I
think some existing code tries to #include "libs," that code should be
changed.  This could be a further argument to finally move mandatory source
files to a distinct root-level directory.
