Milestone:  To Be Determined                         |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1                             |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:  filesystem windows make_preferred        |  
-----------------------------------------------------+----------------------
 On the Windows platform and since boost 1.46.1, path.make_preferred()
 simply executes

 {{{
 std::replace(m_pathname.begin(), m_pathname.end(), L'\\', L'/');
 }}}

 which replaces backslashes with forward slashes. However, the function
 should do the opposite thing.
