As I state in the ChangeLog, this fix is good enough for us. The Boost
people are talking about rewriting the function entirely.
OK?

+ * libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp (exists):
+ add ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED to the list of "recognised" errors. It
+ appears that Win98SE returns such an error from GetFileAttributes
+ if asked to query a path on a drive that doesn't exist.
+
+ The "correct" fix is currently being discussed on the boost-devel
+ list, but this work around will do for us for now.

* libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: add a block
of preprocessor code to include NewAPIs.h conditioned on the
WANT_GETFILEATTRIBUTESEX_WRAPPER macro. Enables runtime support
