I do very much enjoy the 100% header implementation you have now, but having to link to a library would not be a show-stopper. It does seem a bit of a shame that a number of Boost libraries that are thread-safe/aware (SharedPtr, Pool, Regex) have provided their own e.g. mutex classes instead of using the ones in Boost.Threads. This is not a value judgement, just an observation.
I guess they would not, if required part of functionality of Boost.Thread was available as a header-only implementation (ie. could be used without introducing dependency on library files) B.
