 TO *FIX* the file system v3 for AIX./v11.1

 Change file path.hpp:
 FROM:
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
   //                             class path::iterator
 //
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

   class path::iterator
     : public boost::iterator_facade<
       iterator,
       path const,
       boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag >
   {
     ....
 TO:
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
   //                             class path::iterator
 //
 //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

   class path::iterator
     : public boost::iterator_facade<
       path::iterator,
       path const,
       boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag >
   {
     ....

 ie. since iterator_facade uses CRTP, the iterator is being interperted as
 "boost::iterator"
     passing "path::iterator" as the template argument fixes the compile
 error on AIX.
     This should be safe for other platforms as well
