When on Windows, if you use boost::filesystem::canonical() to resolve a
NTFS network drive mounted in a directory, the result is what I see as a
useless result. For example:
C:\ntfs_mount\other\dirs\file
boost::filesystem returns:
C:\?VolumeXXX-XXX-XXX-XXX\ other\dirs\file
This volume notation is useless as it cannot be passed to any file
function. Also, the path is divided by a space to other\dirs. It would
be better if canonical does not mess with the network drive at all and
returns the directory as is, like boost::filesystem::absolute() does.
