I see two problems:

1. IMHO, it's not possible to create a static thread library without
modifying the boost code (first, disabling the auto_link feature, second,
eliminate the declspec macros in thread/detail/config.hpp).

2. The clear absence of future support for a static thread library (and,
more important than that, for a static runtime library!). I would be glad if
there were a commitment to a static thread library without tss.
