[Boost-users] boost::filesystem: removing directory recursively?

Is there an easy / elegant way to remove directory contents recursively 
using boost::filesystem? I see that there's a create_directories() 
convenience function, but there's no such convenience function for 
removing a directory and all its contents.

moreover, recursive_directory_iterator() does not return an iterator 
that contains the directory contens in the order suitable for removal :(

I wonder if there's an easy / elegant way to do this?
