[boost] Thread Lib and DLL

I am curious as to why the new version of the Thread library does not
provide a static library in the 1.30 version of boost.  After reading some
initial posts, I have seen references to thread local storage, but haven't
seen anything that documents why this makes a static library impossible.
All thing considered, I find a static library is much more desirable than a
dll.

Thanks!
