 > Is there any way around this to disable the use of the mutex?

 I also stumbled across this bug. The pool library pulls the header
 <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
 even if the user has defined BOOST_NO_MT or BOOST_POOL_NO_MT.

 It would be good to change line 13 of <boost/thread/mutex.hpp> from
 #ifdef BOOST_HAS_THREADS
 to
 #if defined(BOOST_HAS_THREADS) && !defined(BOOST_NO_MT) &&
 !defined(BOOST_POOL_NO_MT)
 (this is the complement of the expression from line 32).

 This would allow to use Boost.Pool without depending on Boost.System.
