Have you looked at
::boost::filesystem::change_extension???
Somehow it is referred to as replace_extension in the
docs, but this
function will do what you are discussing I think.

I did not see that in the boost.filesystem.basic_path reference
documentation.
replace_extension is documented here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/filesystem/doc/refer ence.html#Convenience-functions
but in the actual library it is named 'change_extension' (I dont know why)
Personally I find the documentation for filesystem pretty hard to navigate. I recommend using doxygen to navigate the source, since that gives a fairly complete reference. I use a PC so I can generate a chm file with a searchable index and everything.
(I tried to attach the docs but the message got to big for the mailing list)

That's the thing, I love Boost but I really cannot stand the documentation (In fact I don't know anyone that actually likes it). You guys should desperately consider using Doxygen (As stated by John). Pause updating boost implementation for a few days and start working on documentation!
