8027	thread library fails to compile with Visual Studio 2003	James Perry <jperry@…>	viboes	"The thread library fails to build with VS2003.  I've tried both boost-1.53.0 and the trunk from SVN.  Prior to this, I had successfully compiled boost-1.49.0, so it's something that changed after that.  I know the compiler is ancient, but sadly I can't use a newer one.

I'm building it with the command:
bjam toolset=msvc-7.1 variant=release thread

An example error log:
