---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Try to compile empty program:
 int main() {}
 And link it with boost_filesystem

 This program will crash throwing exception "std::runtime_error:
 locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid" on some systems (FreeBSD
 and some linuxes) when current locale (LANG,LC_ALL) is not "C"

 Systems are known to be affected:
 DragonFly BSD with boost 1.44 from pkgsrc
 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE with boost 1.44
 may be suse linux: Sles 10 sp3 with boost 1.44

 Locally, we have to use attached patch as workaround.
