Sorry, I forgot (it's nearly 2am) to mention that AFIO itself is 
production ready and has been in the review queue since October 2013. 
You can see its CI test dashboard at the bottom of the github page 
plus a link to its documentation. There is a slight correction to the 
URL:

https://github.com/BoostGSoC13/boost.afio

You *will* find AFIO's directory enumeration facilities to be faster 
than anything else, including the system APIs. AFIO goes direct to 
the kernel and skips the intervening baggage, hence happily working 
with 1m or even 10m entry directories on BSD, Linux and Windows with 
ease.
