Unfortunately I've never even tried getting it working with mingw, but I
have heard rumblings of success with it. Don't bother with the non-2.0
version at all. They aren't really maintained and I bet the 2.0 unstable
is more stable than them.

It looks like the configure script is looking for the compiled boost
threads library to link against, but it isn't installed. Check your
boost installation for the boost threads library. Not just the headers.

Good luck.
