It appears the problem is that unistd.h doesn't define _POSIX_THREADS so our 
config system doesn't detect threading support when you build with -mt.

Unless anyone objects I'll add a

#define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS

to hpux.hpp which will turn on threading support only when the compiler is 
used with -mt (which defines _REENTRANT which then gets detected by the 
config system etc).
