 Static constexpr members of boost::filesystem::path should have
 definitions.
 Currently they do not, which leads to, e.g., the following code not
 compiling:

 {{{
 $ cat main.cpp
 #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>

 void f(const char &) {
 }

 int main() {
         f(boost::filesystem::path::preferred_separator);
 }

 $ g++ -std=c++14 -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system main.cpp
 /tmp/ccuhjyO3.o: In function `main':
 main.cpp:(.text+0x12): undefined reference to
 `boost::filesystem::path::preferred_separator'
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
 }}}
