Although I got it working I did have to apply a small hack which I feel
I have to mention. The file lib/thread/build/threads.jam refers to the
PTW32_LIB directory via a subdirectory pre-built. So unless the lib and
include subdirs are in a subdir called 'pre-built' it does not work. I
removed "/pre-built" from the jam file and then all was ok.

I am not sure why 'pre-built' is there since a pre-built library can be
installed in any location that people want. Shouldn't this be removed?
If not then perhaps PTW32_LIB can be added as additional directory to
search for the lib and include files without the 'pre-built' qualifier.

Andrew Marlow
