The boost condition variables are now called boost::condition_variable  
and boost::condition_variable_any. They are in the header  
boost/thread/condition_variable.hpp, which is included from  
boost/thread.hpp

boost/thread/condition.hpp is a backwards-compatibility header that  
defines boost::condition as a typedef to  
boost::condition_variable_any. This header was included in  
boost/thread.hpp in boost 1.35.0. I have now removed it from there,  
though it is still available for direct inclusion.

If you think that the boost::condition typedef should be available  
when boost/thread.hpp is included, you (or I) can add  
boost/thread/condition.hpp back into boost/thread.hpp

The alternative is to add the include of boost/thread/condition.hpp to  
your code, or change to boost::condition_variable or  
boost::condition_variable_any in your code.
