 Due to cross-platform issues with Microsoft Windows, we are using
 std::strings with unsigned shorts as UTF16 strings.

 We experience crashes when using boost::format in combination with these
 strings.

 Please find attach a simple fix which solves this issue for us. We are
 using this code since some years on Windows and Unix, too, without any
 negative side-effects.

 It would be great if you could double-check this change and commit it to
 future boost versions.
