Windows, Linux and BSD know Joliet. I have not worked with a CD on a UN*X for ages.

So I'm starting to waiver on this point... You can make an ISO image with both Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions to serve all (mkhybrid and I believe the new mkiso as well). I would not stick with ISO 9660 to forfeit all convenience of "free" file names, which boost has no in the filesystem...
