[Boost-users] Access to underlying system thread

Hi, I like using boost threads, but I'm currently working on a project 
where I need to access the private handle to the underlying system 
thread (in the cases I'm concerned about, the pthread_t).  This is so 
that I can take advantage of platform-specific functionality, such as 
setting CPU affinity and (more generally) calling into other libraries 
that expect a pthread_t.  Is there any way to do get this handle?

Thanks!
