Hi,

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/81780 " Use explicit operator
bool when available; ..." introduces a breaking change on shared_ptr in
Boost.Thread and Boost.Test at least.
I would preferred if this breaking change was announced and why not
added conditionally so that the user could move smoothly to the new
semantic.

Anyway, I wanted to make this evident so that the Boost maintainer using
this facility fixes their code as soon as possible.

Best,
Vicente
