[boost] [thread] More breakages

The thread lib isn't currently building with msvc-8, cygwin and Mingw32:

MSVC Errors:

Cygwin has lots of compiler errors: looks like it should be configured to 
use the POSIX thread lib rather than the Win32 API's?

Mingw32 has the following build errors:

gcc.compile.c++ 
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\thread\build\gcc-mingw-mw\debug\threading-multi\thread.o
..\..\..\libs\thread\src\win32\thread.cpp: In static member function `static 
boost::thread boost::thread::self()':
..\..\..\libs\thread\src\win32\thread.cpp:160: error: no matching function 
for call to `boost::thread::thread(boost::thread)'
../../../boost/thread/win32/thread.hpp:69: note: candidates are: 
boost::thread::thread(boost::thread&)

Really we shouldn't be getting this many breakages this close to a release! 
:-(
