I've been having a closer inspection at the code for Boost.Thread,
Boost.FileSystem and Boost.Config and seems like you'd have to define
these three macros to go with Win32 threads everywhere:

-DBOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS (Boost.Config)
-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API    (Boost.Filesystem)
-DBOOST_THREAD_WIN32   (Boost.Thread)

Please tell us if this improves things.
