You mean I can't just run bjam with no options and get the libs
built with thread support?  I need to add a command-line option?

The libraries that require thread support will be built with thread support. The others will not, unless <threading>multi has been placed in their default-build settings; <threading>single is the global default.

Which leads to three questions:


(1) How do we do this?
Do what? Get all multithreaded libraries automatically with zero user
intervention on the command-line? You convince the Boost developers
who told me single-threading should be the default when I started
Boost.Build that they were wrong, and I change the default.

What the hell is the matter with you? All I asked was how to set the multithreaded option. I looked in the documentation and couldn't find it. Are you too l33t to answer questions from mere users now?

(2) Why isn't it documented? Are users supposed to know about this bit
   of voodoo by clairvoyance, or what?

Yes.


(3) How many other undocumented gotchas like this are lurking in there?

63 and a half.

Yeah yeah. Just keep taking the tablets, as the good Lord said to Moses.
