Comment (by Ivan A. Melnikov <iv@…>):

 As far as I know, Boost.Thread never promised to be header-only or have
 header-only parts. Thus, using mutex from Boost.Thread and claiming to be
 header-only seems to me... erm... a bit unfair, even if it used to work
 somehow.

 I think the best solution would be to switch to using
 <boost/detail/lightweight_mutex.hpp>, as it is header only and does not
 have any extra dependencies.
