#6621: Add support for unicode file names
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  apolukhin         |       Owner:  igaztanaga  
     Type:  Feature Requests  |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.49.0      |    Severity:  Cosmetic    
 Keywords:  mmap unicode      |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 It`s a common task to mmap a file with Unicode name. Currently such
 operations on Windows require renaming files, and only after that mmaping
 them, which is not a very nice solution. Better solution would be to use
 widechar versions of WinAPI and allow widechar filenames.

 boost::filesystem::path may help in some cases, as it already provides
 conversions for different encodings and allows to make less functions
 overloads.
