Eventually C++ 2017 wil have filesystem in it - just cant wait that long - If we can’t use 1.60 then we will have to use kwsys (or write our own) - does everything build with 1.60?

So it seems odd to implement something that a library we depend on has implemented in a later revision. If we're going to do that, then we should eliminate the boost requirement and just use it optionally for polygon. :-)
