[Boost-users] can't build threads on msvc-7.1

I can't build  the thread library. I have no idea why. ( What gregorian
date is doing in the thread lib eludes me )

I have changed  boost/config/user.hpp  to #define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LIN, of
course, that shouldn't effect threads.... but whatever....

Anyone got a clue?
