The Boost Thread Library was the first to be called the BTL, 
regardless of the chronology of acceptance ;).

Seriously, though, someone else coined the acronym, not myself.  I'm 
not married to any name or acronym at this point, though there will 
be a lot of documentation to change if we go by a different 
name/acronym at this point, and it's just going to get worse.  So... 
if anyone has a different name, or thinks that we should stick with 
Boost Thread Library but not use the acronym BTL, speak up now so I 
can proactively avoid work in the future :).
