Comment (by eldiener):

 I made a pull request on Github. I did not attempt to update the thread
 documentation to deprecate shared_mutex in favor of shared_timed_mutex but
 leave that up to the thread developer(s) to document. I did test out the
 PR using the current thread/test jamfile and it does work. I did not
 attempt to test out the PR by using other Boost libraries which may be
 using shared_mutex, but since my solution is essentially "renaming"
 shared_mutex to shared_timed_mutex and typedefing, for the time being,
 shared_mutex back to shared_timed_mutex there should not be any problems
 from the point of view of the end-user.
