I've built and installed boost on a Mac OSX system (with the 'darwin'
toolset).  I would like to use static linking.  However, the installer
is only building the .dylib version of libboost_thread and not the .a
version.  I thought only Win32 was forced to use dynamic linking?  Is
there a similar issue on OSX?

Actually, although static linking only had problems on win32, it was
disabled for all platforms. This will be changed in the 1.32 release.
