At the CGAL developers meeting were the switch to CMake was presented and 
voted, we collectively decided that Boost.Thread was a strong (non optional) 
requirement. It was for the simplicity of the CMake scripts. At that time, 
the 
couple GMP/MPFR was also a strong requirement. Now we are trying to make GMP 
an option, and maybe we could at the same time work on Boost.Thread.
