 * keywords:   => MinGW uintptr_t

 * component:  config => thread

Comment:

 Added a minimal patch to libs/thread/src/win32/thread.cpp which I verified
 to work with MinGW gcc 4.8, and both boost trunk and release SVN branches.
 Using <boost/cstdint.hpp> for the typedef for uintptr_t  maximizes
 confidence that it will work for WinCE as well. (And should WinCE fail,
 pushes the fix from thread to config where it belongs.)  With this change
 being only to thread.cpp, I'm changing the component from config back to
 thread.
