No. You are using the correct libraries. I just tried a similar sequence myself:

1. Update CVS.
2. Ran at the boost-root; bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1 install
3. Created a new VC solution, and MFC project
4. Added c:\boost\include\boost-1_31, to additional include paths
5. Added c:\boost\lib, to additional lib paths
6. Added some Boost.Thread code to the application
7. Compile, link, run.

All works as expected. No compile, or link, errors. Only error was at runtime, 
as expected, because it could not find "boost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_13.dll". As 
I did not add c:\boost\lib to the PATH.
