Comment (by fiesh@…):

 It would be great if the documentation could be upgraded to clarify this,
 at least as the bug remains.  tut5.cpp for example does not work correctly
 when using mingw.  It took us a lot of time to figure out that this was
 the reason for the issues in our codebase.  I guess this makes
 boost::filesystem not usable under mingw?
