I would be worth searching the archives for this, as it was discussed 
numerous times, at length IIRC, by Bill and others as to why this 
shouldn't be done.

If it is just to do with TLS, then, as you suggest, these features could 
be removed from the static version (I build it statically myself, and 
only use thread, condition and mutex) but I would be careful about this 
move because there have obviously been very good reasons for not doing 
it so far.

Thanks
