[Boost-users] [program options] option_description name as string

Subject: [Boost-users] [program options] option_description name as string

        We tend to store the names of our options in strings (so we can reuse 
them later when getting the values out of the variable map).  But 
option_descriptions can only be created from const char *, so we need to 
add a .c_str() when building the options_description.

        Is there any reason why options can't be constructed with a string? 
Otherwise I'll open a feature request bug.
