581	Win32 windows_name() bug	nobody	beman_dawes	"{{{
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.
