building threads lib with latest from CVS

I am fairly new to boost (and jamfiles).  I am using the threads 
library for cross platform thread support.  Under the stable build a 
library libboost_thread.lib is created to staticly link in to my 
project, with seperate libs if I am using the DLL STL or static STL.

That build config is gone in the latest version under CVS, replaced 
by a boost_thread dll set up.  I want (and need) the old static 
version.  I have successfully added it back into the jam file so that 
all 3 (including the threadmon) are built now, but that isn't 
something I really want to have to maintain as I get updates.  Is the 
static lib intentionally and permanently removed or is it an 
oversight/temporary change?

thanks.
