[boost] Re: (For me a) showstopper [was: boost thread static library]

Sorry. I meant two things:

1) Boost.Thread requires a dynamic library to fix a Win32 problem.

2) Someone, earlier in this thread, I believe, pointed out that the ability to compile Boost.Thread as a static lib had been removed on non-Win32 platforms for no reason.

I was suggesting that, if both these facts are true, support for compiling Boost.Thread as a static library should at least be added back for non-Win32 platforms.

Why just for non-Win32 platforms? I would suggest having a static lib also for Win32, but without tss (as this needs the dll version). Stefan
