Does boost library really supports Unicode under Windows?

Under Windows the only way to get Unicode support is to use wchar_t (UTF-16 under Windows) instead of char.

The problem is that I found that at least one of the boost libraries (boost::program_options) doesn't support Unicode at all: you are not able to compile the examples as Unicode.

Shouldn't boost be able to compiled with wide strings? - I would even expect this to be the default behavior under Windows.
