Subj : [RFC] Boost.Threads on its way to C++0x

Hello,

It looks like Boost.Threads (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) is well on 
its way to become part of the next C++ standard (C++0x):

http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/04/24636.php
http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/04/24671.php

As usual, once something gets into a standard, it can practically never be 
retracted, regardless of its merits.

So... I ask you to please take a look at Boost.Threads:

http://boost.org/doc/html/threads.html

and the Dinkumware implementation:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1682.html

(Metrowerks also ships a threading library with CodeWarrior but I don't have 
a link.)

If you see anything broken, please comment.
