The windows.h include comes from boost.datetime. Hopefully it'll go soon.
The auto-link against libboost_thread is surprising to me, but I rarely use just boost mutexes in an app. I'll investigate.
Hopefully Jeff will figure out a way to selectively autolink libboost_datetime too, as it's not really required for the thread stuff.
Why not just implement boost::mutex not as a specific case of timed_mutex, but as separate implementation? Then, for a simple non-timed mutex date-time is not required.
