Sorry. I meant two things:

1) Boost.Thread requires a dynamic library to fix a Win32 problem.

2) Someone, earlier in this thread, I believe, pointed out that the
ability to compile Boost.Thread as a static lib had been removed on
non-Win32 platforms for no reason.

I was suggesting that, if both these facts are true, support for
compiling Boost.Thread as a static library should at least be added
back for non-Win32 platforms.
