I'm not disagreeing with you. But it is not going to help us tackle the problem on the 1.3.x branch is it? What I think that we should do for the 1.4.x branch is use boost::filesystem for the internals of all the stuff in support and gradually change the interface to use boost::path rather than std::string. The problem is that we use this stuff all over the place. Do we want to make these changes before or after 1.4.x is released? -- Angus
