In general, I think the library is well designed and should be accepted into
boost.
Some comments:

Have you considered the inclusion of a read/write lock? I think it has very
common use. It's implemented in POSIX, and it's not hard to implement on
other systems on top of a semaphore.

I think the semaphore docs need to be clarified. Those "As If" parts aren't
very clear.

There's no mention of thread_resource_error in the docs. Why doesn't both
the exception classes have a 'what' member function?

In mutex_concept.html the [Schmidt 00] link is not right. It should be
#Schmidt-00 instead of #Schmidt 00
