For what it's worth, I'm hoping to investigate what it would take

make Boost.Thread support a static library option again in the future. If such a thing ever happened (no promises), it would have to be a version in which features that require the dll are disabled.
Mike, this is a rather conservative estimate I think. As I already have tried to show you that this can be done without any omission of features at all. Altough at the price of the application creating a (hidden, temporary) file on the target machine. I am currently trying to create a local modification of the threading library with static linkage, that has full function.
You're absolutely right. The last couple of weeks have been so hectic I temporarily forgot your interesting "pseudo-dll" solution, and I apologize. Thanks for reminding me and and for working on it.
I think I should send this to the list for discussion then. (BTW, the DLL version can be left totally unaltered.)
Please do! All my "Boost time" at the moment is spent answering posts and preparing to move things from the thread_dev branch to the main branch a piece at a time (after discussing each piece here first).
Roland
