Doing so, the boost.thread will be build with the /MTd flag (for debug).
This is exactly
what you said that it won't be a good idea, right? Or am I missing something
here?

If this is not such a good idea (building the boost.thread dll with the /MT
flag) what
else can I do, as I have my app depending on tons of libs that are already
built with /MT flag
meaning that all the modules should be built with the same flag (if you mix
the modules with
the /MT flag and /MD flag, the final app will have links errors) ?

Thanks,
