I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be implemented in the language or not, but is there a way to obtain perhaps a handle or pointer to a thread that is currently running with boost::threads?

boost::thread is supposed to be portable, it will most likely use a platform specific API, but the whole idea of the library is to avoid the need for an API call or a platform specific feature like a handle or pointer.
If you need to use a handle, you might as well forgo the use of boost::thread and use an API
