No, there is no MFC dependency.  Changing your project settings to use the
MFC dll cleared the warnings because this change also effects how you link
against the C RTL.  When you tried to compile the project with no MFC you
got the error you did because you failed to compile against a
multi-threaded C RTL.  All dependencies in Boost.Threads are with the C
RTL and not MFC.
