57        threading support has been enabled in a platform specific manner. For instance,
58        on the Win32 platform there's an implementation for <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Threads</strong></span>
59        but unless the program is compiled against one of the multithreading runtimes
60        (often determined by the compiler predefining the macro _MT) the BOOST_HAS_THREADS
61        macro remains undefined.
