Per the C++0x discussions earlier in the week, and the calls for the Bjarne, et al to make some definitive decisions regarding a threading API, I would ask the Boost thread developers not to wait and please add a cancel method now. A lot of the scheduling priority stuff can wait, but it is going to be real hard to turn people from pthreads until some sort of a cancel method, however basic, is available. I believe that this is the state of things; however, it not, someone please feel free to correct me.
