Comment(by andysem):

 The suggested solution would be to create a single global variable in the
 Boost.Filesystem dll, and initialize it of the application startup. On
 platforms that do not syncronize threads during dll loading (are there
 any?) one could use call_once from Boost.Thread and initialize it
 similarly (on the application startup).
