[Boost-users] filesystem::equivalent does not work for UNC paths on Windows

Hello!

Its seems as if the Windows implementation of filesystem::equivalent
can't handle UNC paths.

While Windows is usually quite tolerant concerning the path separator
/ versus \, CreateFile* seems not to understand an UNC path containing
// instead of \\.

My proposal to fix that is to replace the call of the string() member 
function by the native_file_string() member function.

What do you think?
