+Notes on boost thread (static vs shared):
+=========================================
+
+By default lib/cpp/windows/force_inc.h defines:
+
+#define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB 1
+#define BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB 1
+
+This has for effect to have the host application linking against Thrift
+to have to link with boost thread as a static library.
+
+If you wanted instead to link with boost thread as a shared library,
+you'll need to uncomment those two lines, and recompile.
 
 Known issues
 ============
 
-- Endianess has not been fully tested, may not work with doubles.
-- Currently does not support the non-blocking connect path.
-- Only supports the creation of clients, server sockets are not yet ported.
 - Does not support named pipes. (Supported in unix through unix domain sockets).
 
 TODO
 ====
 
 - Port remaining classes in libthrift:
-    - TFDTransport
-    - TFileTransport
-    - THttpClient
-    - THttpServer
-    - TSimpleFileTransport
     - TSSLSocket
 
 - Port test cases. (Not even started this. Run test cases in release mode?)
