OK this is hardly boost-related but...

I'm now linking my library (.a file) and libboost_thread.a into an 
executable.  Everything compiles but the linker isn't seeing pthread 
stuff.  Not suprising since I don't have a clue how to tell gcc to 
link the MT runtime stuff.  Can someone spoil me with the answer to 
that one?
