Sorry not to reply to your questions about Mac thread availability; I'd 
be unable to give correct and authoritative answers. If you need more 
information, I'd be happy to try and find it out from the xcode list, 
or perhaps from some of the Omni folks.

I've tried that patch out for our scode configuration, and it is 
correctly turning on thread support (if I include 
boost/config/requires_threads.hpp, I don't get an error), so it 
certainly fixes the configuration problem we were having.

Cheers, and thanks very much for your time,
