Please don't drag in boost::filesystem just to provide this single functionality, that would be a dependency pain and add to the filesize of your project needlessly.

Since Windows is the only OS that needs bespoke code, I typically use the standard POSIX code on all operating systems and then a simple dirent.h API shim for windows.

Such as...

http://slam6d.sourceforge.net/html/doxygen/dirent_8h_source.html
or
http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~weiss/cop4338_sum07/dirent.h
or
http://softagalleria.net/dirent.php

I think that it is also provided when using GCC on Windows (Mingw), but it is also definitely provided by Cygwin.
