Well, specifying link=satic does not seem to help:
threading=single runtime-link=static link=static
..\..\bin.v2\libs\foo\foo.test\msvc-8.0express\debug\link-static\
runtime-link-static\
  BOOST_HAS_THREADS defined
  BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS undefined

I really don't know what's going on, but BOOST_HAS_THREADS seems
to always be defined!
