I'm very actively coding and testing.

The code implementing the path header is pretty much complete, except for 
some of the name checking functions, and is passing current narrow 
regression tests on Windows.

The code implementing the operations header is perhaps 95% complete for 
Windows, and 50% complete for POSIX, and is passing current narrow 
regression tests on Windows except for the few functions not yet 
implemented.

I've done a bit of informal testing of wpath; since the code is now fully 
templatized, anything that works for path tends to work for wpath since 
both are just typedefs of basic_path<>.

I also now have a full Linux machine set up, so I'll be able to test on 
Linux without having to borrow parts from my Windows box.

The plan is to check in an "i18n" branch within the next two weeks or so.

I'm glad to hear that there is at least one person out there who is 
interested in wpath:-)
