Comment:

 Boost 1.60.0 will add functions lexically_normal, lexically_relative,
 relative, and weakly_canonical. These are designed to provide the
 functionality requested by this ticket.

 See http://boostorg.github.io/filesystem/relative_proposal.html for more
 information. It proposes additional lexical and operational proximate
 functions, but I have chosen not to include those now. They will be
 reconsidered once users get some field experience with the core
 functionality for computing relative paths.

 These function are available now on the
 https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem develop branch, and will be merged
 to master as soon as sufficient regression tests have cycled. They will
 also be proposed for inclusion in the next version of the C++ committee's
 TS 18822, File System Technical Specification.

 Many thanks to Jamie Allsop for his help and perseverance, and to everyone
 else who made suggestions and comments. Jamie's paper is available at
 https://github.com/ja11sop/std-filesystem-relative


 Thanks,
