Hi friends

Using the freshly created MinGW 64bit build, creating the boost 1.40
libraries with bjam worked flawlessly. However, when including
boost/thread.hpp, I receive the following error:

In file included from C:\Program

However, on the stated line, I can't even make out a cast. Is boost_thread
win64 compatible?
