I've been defining BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL in the .NET project now. That  
seems to work. The C++ DLL still binds to Boost.Thread statically (and  
doesn't define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL of course). As the .NET DLL doesn't  
use Boost.Thread itself I guess it should be fine to define  
BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL.
