Apparently, there are two versions of the filesystem library, v2 and v3
since 1.44.  However, v2 was the default.  v3 is the default in 1.46.
You can also switch with a '#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2', but we
may as well just use the default.  That explains why it's only just
started to cause problems.

So no worries, we'll just go with a check and fall back to the old style
if required.
