Ogre currently uses boost::threads in case background loading is enabled. While boost is certainly a great library it is a quite heavy dependency to carry around and bloats the executables significantly.
It would be nice to provide defines to use custom threading primitives (threads, mutex, condition locks ..etc) to use the background loader without the dependency to boost.
Plugable threading primitives
