I'm working hard at a lot of things in Boost.Threads preparing it for 
the immenant submission.  The old Jamfiles have been replaced with 
new Jamfiles in different locations ;).  Things have been modified to 
follow the same general design as was used in Python, as I expect 
this to be a closer basis for what Boost may eventually standardize 
on for how to structure this stuff.  So, if you check out all of 
threads-initial you should now find that there's a 
boost/libs/thread/build directory with a Jamfile for the library.  
There's also a Jamfile under boost/libs/thread/test to build and run 
the unit-test.  The final Jamfile is in boost/libs/thread/example 
which builds all the example programs.  If you can't find them then 
please let me know since that likely means I screwed something up in 
CVS.

BTW, the Jamfiles are currently known to work only with MSVC++, so if 
you're using another compiler/platform I'm not sure how they'll work 
for you.
