[boost] [filesystem] path normalization?

Hello,
suppose I have this:

   path p = .........;
   p /= "../../../a/b/c" ;

with current CVS version of filesystem I get paths like:

 
bin/gcc/debug/threading-multi/../../../../bin/nm/debug/threading-multi/print_and_set.map

which are correct, but it has reduntant elements. Say first ".." undoes 
"threading-multi" and next ".." undoes "debug" and the path is the same as

  bin/nm/debug/threading-multi/print_and_set.map

which is much smaller, and so better for things like error diagnostic. Any 
change that filesystem perform such path normalization either during 
operator/= or as a separator function?

TIA,
Volodya
