Yes, I'm unfortunately having issues with this compiler.  I think it 
may have something to do with the STL provided by the compiler, as 
some users have reported success when using STLPort.

Yes, on the Win32 platform you have to link against boost_threadmon 
as well.

Another alternative is to use pthread_win32 support of Boost.Threads, 
as this I know works with GCC.

I'd love to get this working on GCC, but so far several attempts by 
myself and others have failed to quite capture what the issue is.
