[boost] [thread] Why is there a restriction for the runtime libraries?

There are two restrictions in the thread jamfile I don't understand:

- the thread lib must be built with static runtime libraries
- the thread dll must be built with dynamic runtime libraries

What is the reason for that? Why can't I use the shared rt and link 
boost.thread statically (and vice versa)???
