i haven't tried but you can enable file system version 3 with:

#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3

at the beginning of src/filenameparse.cc (after #ifdef
HAVE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM) and then you should be able to compile enblend
with older versions (>1.44) of boost as well. sooner or later we'll need
to make the change to filesystem version 3 anyway.
