The Boost Thread Library was the first to be called the BTL,
regardless of the chronology of acceptance ;).
Seriously, though, someone else coined the acronym, not myself. I'm
not married to any name or acronym at this point, though there will
be a lot of documentation to change if we go by a different
name/acronym at this point, and it's just going to get worse. So...
if anyone has a different name, or thinks that we should stick with
Boost Thread Library but not use the acronym BTL, speak up now so I
can proactively avoid work in the future :).
