I have added a link to the wiki.
http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Threads

I did not experience any kind of problems editing the page.
Will try later again to put this into the wiki as well.

A question that popped up in a discussion about asio, and others as well.
Currently there seems to be a lot of code duplication in the boost library
in the area of locking primitives.
Altough I am not sure what the real reason is, one might be that 
boost::thread
does not provide a header only implementation for these.
Perhaps we should consider having part of the threading library available
as header only?
Any thoughts?
