Thats fine, but my system just gave a link error saying it was still 
looking for the dynamic version of the lib, even though I'd set my 
project to build everything statically.  It should have been looking for 
libboost_thread.... not boost_thread...  Maybe an auto-link problem for 
Borland?  If I get the chance, I may investigate further, but am happy 
to keep running the dynamic lib for now.

Thanks
