[boost] [threads] Compilation problems on CW and others...

Michael,

I believe one of the last remaining problems with the compilation of 
threads in Win32 platforms, maybe others, is that the line-endings on 
the files are totally incorrect. When I look at the files I see double 
spaced lines with line-endings of the CR-CR-LF variety. This causes all 
kinds of problems when the CW preprocessor tries to parse multi-line 
macros as it only parses the first line and error on the rest, for example:

### mwcc Compiler:
#    File: ..\src\exceptions.cpp
# ------------------------------
#      49:   || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#   Error:   ^^
#   declaration syntax error

Which is the second line of:

#   if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) || defined(WIN32) \
  || defined(__CYGWIN__)

It will likely be easier for me to fix this directly than have you try 
and get the line endings just right, as the editor I use has 
functionality to fix those problems.

Would it be OK for me to fix those at this time? I don't want to collide 
with anything you might be changing.
