------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 The thread library fails to build with VS2003.  I've tried both
 boost-1.53.0 and the trunk from SVN.  Prior to this, I had successfully
 compiled boost-1.49.0, so it's something that changed after that.  I know
 the compiler is ancient, but sadly I can't use a newer one.

 I'm building it with the command:
 bjam toolset=msvc-7.1 variant=release thread

 An example error log:
