 In the "Path Name Protablity Guide" there is a list of length limits for
 names in paths for different operating systems.
 There should also be mentioned that the standard OpenVMS file system
 (ODS-2) allows only 39 characters for the filename (and another 39 for the
 extension).

 There is exactly one header file in the current boost distribution which
 has more than 39 characters in the filename (Ticket #6196).
