There is a problem with the Spirit XML parser. When I define  
BOOST_PROPERTY_TREE_XML_PARSER_SPIRIT I get a compiler error:

boost-1_39\boost\property_tree\detail\xml_parser_read_spirit.hpp(103) :  
error C2065: 'empty_ptree' : undeclared identifier

If I use the Rapid XML parser the code compiles. I can't parse a UTF-8  
encoded file correctly though. Is this a known problem? When I use  
boost::property_tree::wptree to parse a XML file with <test>ä</test> and  
UTF-8 encoding get() returns ä. The problem seems to be in  
read_xml_internal(). But as I couldn't test the Spirit XML parser this is  
maybe a known limitation of the Rapid XML parser?
