Unfortunately, detailed specification and implementations of std::thread
won't appear until after TR2 is released, which means that there is not
much to be done at this point to write Boost.Thread as a wrapper for
std::thread.
One can check this proposal for a TR2 threading library if interested:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1883.pdf
(important notes on IV.C, Comparison with the Boost.Thread approach)
However, I believe that this idea should be dropped at the moment since
there isn't sufficient information about the upcoming C++1x threading
library. Maybe it will be more appropriate for the next year's GSoC ;)
But maybe I'm just wrong and misinformed.

Yours faithfully,
