ext::filesystem is not compatible with boost >= 1.46

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upgrade from <dev-libs/boost-1.46 to >=dev-libs/boost-1.46
2. Compile UFTT

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
UFTT should compile, but it does not.
Instead compilation halts with the following error message:

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
The problem seems to stem from a redesign of the boost-filesystem library, the 
implementation of which has become the default starting from boost 1.46.
As a work-around it is possible (for now) to #define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 
to version 2.

the '#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION' workaround should be used (and commited) 
for now, and maybe even until boost stops supporting that so we can reevaluate 
the state of their filesystem libraries and come up with a new solution at that 
time.

Please realize that boost::filesystem v2 will be gone in 1 release. Boost 1.46 
is already out, and boost 1.47 (which is the last version to support v2) will 
be released soon. Boost 1.48 and higher will no longer support v2.

r978 implements ext::filesystem as a wrapper that should resolve this issue.
