 Hi,

 after upgrading to boost 1.58 from 1.57 a lot of users complained that my
 app was prematurely aborting the PC's sleep state. The culprit can easily
 detected and it was indeed my process: "powercfg /lastwake"

 It shows that the process had set a "wake timer". The changes in
 boost/libs/thread/src/win32/thread.cpp seem to be the cause.

 Please remove usage of "CreateWaitableTimer" in function
 "interruptible_wait()" or at least provide some means (preprocessor
 variable, whatever) to allow compilation of boost::thread without
 "CreateWaitableTimer".

 Thanks
