How do you support threading with MSVC without including windows.h? How do
you declare the required functions from the Win32 API?
BOOST_HAS_THREADS means "We can support threading somehow", if I recall
correctly. If BOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 defined, it means that the compiler cannot
access the Win32 API, which makes accessing the thread API impossible.
