[boost] [unicode] provide <boost/cuchar.hpp> header?

The C++11 standard library provides a header <cuchar>, with a bit of
Unicode support, based on C's <uchar.h>:

    Macros:  __STDC_UTF_16__, __STDC_UTF_32__

    Functions: mbrtoc16, c16rtomb, mbrtoc32, c32rtomb

The functions provide conversion between char sequences and UTF-16/UTF-32.

It would be useful to have a <boost/cuchar.hpp> header so that these
functions could be used with existing compilers and standard
libraries.

Does anyone have an implementation of these functions they would be
willing to contribute?
