The changes are apparently not yet available via anonymous CVS.

Good point, but I stole the language from John Maddock's regex warning:

  ******************************************************

  Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support disabled.
  HINT: define the environment variable ICU_PATH to point to the
  root directy of your ICU installation if you have one.
  Couldn't find utypes.h in

  ******************************************************

Apparently I stole the typo, too ;-)

I'd like to keep the bjam warnings consitent, if possible. Do you really think
some windows developers won't know what a directory is?

At any rate, I'd appreciate it if you'd try building Iostreams again when the
changes show up in CVS.
