I believe that all the code there works. It passes all the tests on Windows
for certain, and I think it passes all the test on Linux too. When I move it
over to trunk I'll verify that everything works.

If you use static linking, on some Windows compilers (gcc, Borland), then TSS
is not cleaned up for threads no started with boost::thread (e.g. those
started using CreateThread directly). This is the same as for boost 1.34.1
