In wconv_codepage.ipp ​http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/locale/src/encoding/wconv_codepage.ipp, line 57

      { "gb2312",     936, 0 },

the codepage name "GB2312" is expired for more than ten years, it was repalced by "GBK" since windows95 ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Page_936 ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/goglobal/cc305153, with alias "CP936","MS936" or "windows-936" ​http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/GBK .

suggest to change it as follows:

      { "gbk",        936, 0 },
      { "cp936",      936, 0 },
      { "ms936",      936, 0 },
      //.....
      { "windows936",         936, 0 },
