I am having trouble deleting files with boost::filesystem. Following code does 
not work for me (and I can't find the doc that explains how to do it). 

boost::filesystem::path pt("somepath");
pt /= ("*.data");
boost::filesystem::remove(pt);

pt variable points to the valid set of files, but removal does not happened.

I will appreciate an advise and may be pointing me to the right place in the 
docs. Thanks.
