[boost] [iostreams] File times on POSIX systems

Hello,

currently iostreams has a number of failures on POSIX systems because of 
the use of the non-existent function futimes().

futimes() conforms to 4.2BSD and is unknown to POSIX, which only has 
utime() to set file access and modification times. Unfortunately utime() 
works in term of path names and not file descriptors, and I'm not aware of 
any suitable replacement, so perhaps the interface for the functionality in 
question needs to be changed.

Regards,
Markus
