More news, I have managed to hack a path around this problem by adding
a function called 'get_native()' to the set of free functions in the
filesystem library.  It simply does 'return native;', so I can be sure
both my program and the DLL library are talking about the same thing.

Doesn't other parts of boost use similar tests against function
addresses?  I assume these would be broken too?  This hack won't last
forever, whats the correct way to solve this?

Thanks
