[boost] Using Boost.Threads

After all this time, I'm finally getting around to using Boost for the first
time. My initial interest is in Boost.Threads (Bruce Eckel and I would like
to use it in Volume 2 of Thinking in C++). I configured Boost for Borland
and tried to do Bill's sample program in Listing 2 of his May CUJ article
(page 10). Everything compiles, but I get an unresolved symbol error for
"__beginthreadex", which actually sounds like a Microsoft name to me, hence
my puzzlement. What exactly do I need to link with, besides the thread
library itself? Thanks.
