Comment (by viboes):

 Point 4 has no sens. duration is not dependent on any clock.

 I don't see why we would need the 3 API. Each platform could provide only
 one of them. E.g. pthread provides only wait having as parameter the an
 absolute time.

 I'm not for breaking the user interface. Users that didn't linked with
 Chrono, shouldn't do it no if they don't use it.

 I agree for fixing all this stuff if the result is alway backward
 compatible (Or having the consensus that Boost.Thread can break user code
 on the Boost ML).

 If you want to work on a clean Boost.Thread implementation I suggest you
 to contribute on a new completely separated version V5 for C++11 compilers
 as I plan to do. Are you interested?

 Agreed for the test.
