David, I'm afraid parsing the query string on your own would be the
way to go at the moment. It shouldn't be too hard to do with either
Boost.Regex or Boost.Xpressive (if you're adventurous using
Boost.Spirit would be a good exercise too).

I was planning to work on some of these utilities to be made part of a
beginnings of a web library (note, not a framework) but I ran into
some time sucks (work, family, and contributing to larger open source
projects like Boost) preventing me from making progress in that front.

I remember someone else in the list wanted this as a features, and if
you can file it in http://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/issues I
promise I'll get to it soon as I get time to do it.

Thanks and I'm sorry I couldn't be much help on this one.
