Scott,

Based on your suggestion. I checked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconv and
http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/codepageConverters.html. I need to support windows and Linux and
ICU converter turned out to be a better fit for me. I used ICU before related to Xerces and Xalan
library. 

Just some update on this one. Thank you for your help.

Boost.Regex uses ICU[1] for Unicode support, so that's the most related 
thing I can think of.
