  * Why do you mind using separate headers?
  * win32.hpp: are you sure all the compilers (e.g., Intel) supports
 dllexport?
  * Strange diff in gcc.hpp: #define BOOST_NO_CHAR16_T
  * Originally, one of the ideas of BOOST_SYMBOL_XXX macro was to save
 typing, i.e.:
 {{{
 #if defined(BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC)
 #   if defined(BOOST_THREAD_BUILD_DLL)
 #       define BOOST_THREAD_DECL __declspec(dllexport)
 //...
 becomes:
 //...
 #if defined(BOOST_THREAD_BUILD_DLL)
 #  define BOOST_THREAD_DECL BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT
 }}}
