It seems that you can't get properties outside of the project rule. I've done 
some (quick) experimenting.  Running

 b2 -j4  gcc-msvc target-os=windows

on this hack at least creates "bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-mingw-
msvc/debug/target-os-windows/threadapi-win32/libboost_thread_win32.dll.a" 
which looks right.

The patch contains a lot of debug echos and needs some cleanup.

the basic idea is to use the "conditional" property to select the right api 
via a modified "check_default_threadapi" copied from "default api"

 <conditional>@check_default_threadapi

This will at least start compilation. Setting the default api and thus 
eliminating the "win32" and "pthread" suffix is unresolved. Maybe Steven can 
help with this rather advanced problem.

I hope this helps.

Yours,

Jürgen

Trying to build Boost.Thread with pthread support.
If you need pthread you should specify the paths.
You can specify them in site-config.jam, user-config.jam
or in the environment.
For example:
PTW32_INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\ptw32\Pre-built2\include
PTW32_LIB=C:\Program Files\ptw32\Pre-built2\lib
