Comment (by bemandawes):

 Hum... Interesting about Android...

 It would not be too difficult to eliminate the wchar_t and std::wstring
 requirement for POSIX API systems as long as it is retained for Windows.

 The issue then becomes testing. It is pretty hard to support a platform
 that is not covered by regular regression tests.

 Is it even possible to run the regular boost regression tests on an
 Android development platform?
