the use of boost::throw_exception is welcome but more for the ability this function provides to store a pointer to an exception than the ability to disable exception.

Thanks.
Perhaps, Boost.Thread could provide a callback for thread interruption, like throw_exception does. The user could release the resources associated with the thread and then call something like pthread_kill(pthread_self()). Just a thought.
