Comment (by anonymous):

 Not sure what I can do much for a four year old android bug report. I'm
 not seeing this in the regression test results for android with recent
 versions.

 My guess is that in config `BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING` was not defined, but
 `BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T` was defined, meaning that the code thinks
 there is a `std::wstring`, but no `wchar_t`. That results in hash defining
 a hash function for `std::wstring`, but it fails to compile because it
 can't hash the characters. I'll put in a change to only define a hash
 function for `std::wstring` when `wchar_t` is available, but I'm not sure
 if it'll do any good.

 I suppose another possibility would be to write special case code for
 strings so that it doesn't need a hash function for characters, but I'd
 rather not do that, as I don't want to add new functionality at this
 point.
