Alas, this does not work. The colon (:) is not
accepted 
by the name_check function. I tried to fix it by using
my own name check, and by replacing the backslash with
slash (although I would be surprised if these tricks
would be necessary)

path::name_check newNameCheck = &my_windows_name;
boost::filesystem::path testPath("c:/test.txt",
newNameCheck);
std::cout << testPath.native_file_string();

In this case, the path constructor accepts its
argument, but native_file_string() returns 

c:test.txt

instead of c:/test.txt.
