I would think the crucial difference is that pthreads pretty much come with the platform, while the C decimal math lib would have to be included with its wrapper's distribution from boost to insure availability - correct me if I am wrong.

Unless you can cite an actual library guideline somewhere that rules out such a wrapper, I guess you're wrong to "doubt boost library guidelines would allow including a wrapper over a C library." Parts of uBlas work that way with FORTRAN libraries, IIUC. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
