[boost] Threads Rewrite?

Hi Boosters,

I've tried several times to contact Bill Kempf about moving forward
with threads, even leaving him messages on his home answering machine.
I've had no reply.  It's important that we make an effort to move
Boost towards a uniform licensing scheme, and the threads library is
an especially important one to do that for.  We've been talking about
significant restructuring in this library; is it likely that we'll get
to a point where the original code can be thrown out?  That may be
the only way we'll be able to change the license.  IMO the docs
really *need* to be thrown out and re-done, even if the design were
to stay substantially the same.

Thoughts?
