Quickbook (Trunk) Windows Compile Errors

Description
Under Windows, the default character type for file paths is wchar_t. The Quickbook code assumes that it's char, and as such, compile errors are caused by the use of boost::filesystem::path::native. Quickbook should instead be using boost::filesystem::path::string, which is the same as 'native', in that it still returns a native path, it just always returns it as a narrow string.
Technically this is a bandaid fix, and Quickbook should be updated to support wide paths so they can be used under Windows (as it's the only way to support certain locales correctly), but that's a totally different issue.
At least with this patch it should now compile.
