An updated version of Boost.Filesystem has been added to CVS. The primary
change is adding "." as a directory-placeholder to the generic path
grammar.
This solves the problem of distinguishing between an empty path and one
that acts as a placeholder.
This change does change some existing behavior: path("foo/..") used to get
converted to an empty path. Now it gets converted to a path of ".", and
thus the change will break any existing code which depended on the prior
behavior.
