BOOST_HAS_THREADS is defined automatically when _MT is defined; most Windows
compilers define _MT when their multithreaded runtime library is selected.

Yes, this would work. BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is a user macro that causes
BOOST_HAS_THREADS to not be defined, regardless of whether the platform is
detected to support multiple threads.
The configuration macros are described in
