Hi!

I wonder if boost::filesystem has support for utf-8.
especially for windows this means that all path names have to be
converted from utf-16 to utf-8 and back internally by
boost::filesystem. for unix-like systems this may not be necessary
as the locale can be set to utf-8 but auto-conversion for
non-utf-8 locales would still be good.
