  * milestone:  Boost 1.38.0 => Boost 1.39.0

Comment:

 The documentation says:

 "A global condition variable that can be created by name. This condition
 variable is designed to work with named_mutex and can't be placed in
 shared memory or memory mapped files."

 So a named condition variable can't be used with interprocess_mutex. The
 documentation of wait functions mentions interprocess_mutex so the
 documentation of those functions is wrong.
