Hi,

A few weeks ago we had a discussion about the convenience of making part of Boost.Threads, namely mutexes and locks, header-only. Some (including Anthony Williams) supported the idea, others disliked it:

What the final decision on this issue is? If positive (i.e. favoring the change), can it be expected to be done for Boost 1.40?

I haven't read all of that thread, but why not do something similar to what Boost.Test does and provide an header-only/"include" version, with reduced functionality? / Johan
