Dear boost users and developers,
I just encountered a minor problem in boost::filesystem::path which seems to
be unable to deal with hidden unix directories ( == names preceeded by an dot
'.' character ). Is there any way to generate a valid path object for paths
like "/foo/.bar"? Trying to create such an object from a C++ string results
in an exception getting thrown.
