 When using boost in an application which uses threads it gives the fault
 message:

 {{{

 (x86)\boost\boost_1_47\boost\thread\win32\thread_primitives.hpp(314):
 error C2472: 'boost::detail::win32::interlocked_bit_test_and_set' cannot
 be generated in managed code: 'Found an intrinsic not supported in managed

 }}}

 Found on the internet: Boost.thread uses some thread local storage calls
 that don't work if you directly link them with CLR code. In VS2008 the
 link would succeed but you'd crash on startup -- I suspect this is a
 symptom of the same problem, VS2010-style.

 On stackoverflow I found the following workaround:
 It is necessary to build boost.thread as a DLL instead of linking it
 statically, and maybe it'll link for you that way...
