Win32 windows_name() bug

[nobody]

I have tried this with both Borland and MSVC ... trying
to instantiate a boost::filesystem::path instance and
getting the following error:

Invalid name "D:" in path "D:\".

One would figure that this should not happen, as that
is a valid Win32 path name. My guess is the problem is
the ":", since I tried "D\A", "D\A\B", "D\A\B\C", etc.
and did not have any problem with them.

Initially I thought is was my Borland compiler, but
when it did the same thing with MSVC, then I figured
that it was a bug somewhere in the library.

If someone could point me in the right direction as to
which particular file I need to look at I could
probably fix the issue myself, but I would prefer a
patch from one of the maintainers to keep the codebase
the same as everyone else.

Thanks.

Assuming your are using Boost version 1.33.1 or earlier, you
probably are not supplying the "native" constructor
argument. In any case, 1.34.0 handles the issue of native
versus generic paths quite differently. Check out the latest
from CVS.

On that basis, I'm closing the issue. If the situation is
otherwise, let me know and I'll reopen it.
