it sounds to me as if boost::filesystem::path's system_specific

used for generic (ie POSIX) paths.
That sounds like a good plan.

Thus:
path p1( "a:b", system_specific );
path p2( "a/b" );
cout << p1.generic_path() << " " << p1.file_path() << endl;
cout << p2.generic_path() << " " << p2.file_path() << endl;
Should output:
a/b a:b
a/b a:b
Well, to be pedantic, it would output something more like:
/a/b a:b
a/b :a:b
Come to think of it, on OS X, it would actually need to be:
/Volumes/a/b a:b
a/b :a:b
But I get your drift.
