------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 The Phusion Passenger folks have added an optional argument to
 thread::start_thread() that I'd like to see merged into Boost.

 This is useful in Passenger's case where they want to reduce the VM size
 without requiring the user to hassle with ulimit settings on Linux.
 Passenger spawns many threads rather than using a thread pool for
 performance reasons.

 This change is, its current form, platform-specific, but I'm working on
 correcting that, hopefully without a ton of ifdefs.
