Hi Christian,

Property tree uses fstream class to access the file and fstream is limited 
to narrow char filenames. Quick workaround would be to read the data into 
memory using your favourite read function (that takes Unicode filenames), 
copy the data into a std::string, and finally create a std::stringstream, 
which can be used as argument for read functions. Obviously, this is quite 
complicated and makes a lot of unnecessary copies of the data. What is 
needed to solve the problem satisfactorily is std::fstream class that can 
use wide filenames. Unfortunately C++ std library does not provide it. This 
might be a material for a separate boost library.
