Same here.
There is no dependency on Boost.Threads unless BOOST_HAS_THREADS is defined.
Which can be the case if you use Boost libraries in general, without using Boost.Thread. Or am I wrong?
Is there a need for another option e.g. BOOST_LOG_HAS_THREADS that could be used to en/disable the dependency in *otherwise* multi-threaded code?
I think that there's a need to be able to use Boost.Log in a multi-threaded environment without being forced to use Boost.Thread. // Johan
