In theory, BOOST_HAS_THREADS is set by the config system if it detects a 
multithreaded platform, and BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is set by the user to 
prevent this from happening.

In practice, BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is being automatically set from time to 
time, but I'm not sure whether one can rely on that.
