Anthony, please take a look at them and merge whatever you consider is 
good after the testers have the time to take them in account (not before 
the 12/12/2011)

I have also closed some tickets that were invalid or duplicated:

#1826     Auto detection of threadapi and target-os broken under cygwin 
gcc     thread     closed     Bugs         5 hours
#4648     boost::lock_error Thrown While Using Upgrade Locks     thread 
     closed     Support Requests         5 hours
#4367     Proposed fix for test_thread_move_return.cpp     thread     
closed     Bugs         6 hours
#6130     condition_variable::timed_wait wakes up too early     thread 
     closed     Bugs     To Be Determined     9 hours

thread     closed     Bugs     To Be Determined     2 days
#5344     condition_variable.hpp warning     thread     closed     
Patches     To Be Determined     3 days
#4773     boost::this_thread::sleep(Microsecond Resolution)

Let me know if something was wrong.

I will have some difficulties finding tickets easy to resolve. The hard 
work is ahead (tss, dynamic linking, race conditions, leaks, missed 
error handling, move semantic, standard compliance).
Please, if there is a candidate that is interested in analyzing 
difficult bugs and want to help to improve Boost.Thread, The 
Boost.Thread library and her users will be grateful.
