Cygwin is also a concern because of lack of standard library wchar_t support. I'm trying to get more information from the Cygwin/gcc maintainers, but no response so far.
Would it not be possible to support Cygwin by fixing the narrow encoding to UTF-8? This doesn't seem to require any stdlib support for wchar_t. wchar_t* will still work and this might be enough in practice for interfacing with the OS for tasks not covered by boost.fs (common dialog boxes, command line arguments and so on).
