 required for static linking when using MinGW (tested using Boost 1.45.0
 and MinGW 4.4.1).

 It is still necessary with Boost 1.48 and MinGW GCC 4.6.2.
 Without '''#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' the example
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tuttimer5.html

 Timer5] from the Boost.Asio tutorial cannot be linked to the static thread
 library.
