New description:

 {{{
 Hi.

 Sometimes I make some path by hand. For example

   std::string str = "./";
   //... some code ....
   std::string str2 = str + "/path/to/file";

 The result is ".//path/to/file". If I try to make path
 from it:

    boost::filesystem::path fs_path2(str2, fs::native);

 I got exception. Is it possible to correct function

    path::m_path_append

 to handle this situation (double/triple/... separator
 in the middle of string)?

Comment:

 Can't assign this to Beman until he logs into Trac once.
