Traits have nothing to do with the lib-link problem it
in my sample.

You just are not getting it :).  My suggestion won't
make boost unportable.  It'll simply let the user to
customize the class in a generic way. Do you see the
difference? Generic customization is one of the main
objectives of generic and template programming in
modern C++. IMHO when a modern C++ library doesn't
allow it (for no reasons practically), it looks
crippled.

Sorry, you are wrong.  This discussion subjects were
the link problem and be able to to use boost::thread
with my toy OS and/or with different threading models
without mocking with boost sources.
