So if I my program runs only on systems that I know support threads,
and I want shared_ptr to use threading support, my program can guarantee
this by defining BOOST_HAS_THREADS? No matter whether the user's Boost
install is -

1) Simply extracted from the tarball
2) Configured without thread support
3) Configured with thread support

And I don't need to define anything about the platform thread library being
used, like BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS?
