 boost ptree creates invalid XML when key contains a '/'.

 Steps:
 {{{
 $ cat pt.cxx
 #include <boost/property_tree/xml_parser.hpp>
 #include <fstream>

 int main()
 {
   using boost::property_tree::ptree;
   ptree pt;
   pt.put("MY/KEY", 42 );

   std::ofstream os( "invalid.xml" );
   boost::property_tree::write_xml(os, pt);
   os.close();

   return 0;
 }

 $ g++ pt.cxx && ./a.out
 $ cat invalid.xml
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <MY/KEY>42</MY/KEY>%
 $ xmllint --format invalid.xml
 invalid.xml:2: parser error : error parsing attribute name
 <MY/KEY>42</MY/KEY>
    ^
 invalid.xml:2: parser error : attributes construct error
 <MY/KEY>42</MY/KEY>
    ^
 invalid.xml:2: parser error : Couldn't find end of Start Tag MY line 2
 <MY/KEY>42</MY/KEY>
