Boost threads and the upcoming C++0x provide a thread class member function
to retrieve the underlying thread native handle. Using it you can call the
operating system dependent function to set the appropriate thread priority
(e.g. WinAPI, POSIX threads etc.).

Here is the description of thread::native_handle for 1.46.1.

Hope that helps,
