Currently there is a problem when you put and then get
a boost::filesystem::path to/from a property tree.
When you get the path, then the path is first read into a string.
Then a stringstream is constructed, and the path is extracted from the stringstream.
The problem is that when you extract a path from a stream
and the path contains spaces, then the path is truncated at the first space.

The solution may be to specialize struct boost::property_tree::detail::extractor
for boost::filesystem::basic_path.
Instead of using a stringstream you can directly convert a string to a path.
