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 },

and the current codepage of "GB2312" is 20936, it can be added to the codepage table also:

      { "gb2312",     20936, 0 },
