 Kind of a nit-pick and probably benign, but I thought I'd report it: When
 compiling files using boost/thread 1.41 on MS Visual Studio 2008 using the
 "x64" target, the compiler will repeatedly warn:

 boost/thread/future.hpp(411) : warning C4267: 'initializing' : conversion
 from 'size_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

 Looks like it's unchanged in the latest svn, too. I imagine the fix would
 be to simply make the type of the "i" variable "size_t".
