I would vote for using Boost.DateTime. It would be unfortunate to add
a dependency between Shmem and DateTime, but I believe that
Boost.Threads is supposed to be a temporary solution, and increasing
the dependence on Threads may be worse than creating the dependence on
DateTime.

Having said that, I suspect that it wouldn't matter all that much to a
user until Boost.Threads is changed.
