Actually, even under Windows we'd probably still use an emulated pthreads if possible instead of pthreads.dll, as the pthreads.dll for Windows does a lot of things that are typically not needed and increases the footprint more than we'd like
That's very interesting - could you tell more about this?

I wonder if somebody has a list of platforms that pthreads exists for and is well-tested on. I'm not aware of it existing much outside of *nix, Mac, and Windows. I'm not saying this to argue against it, though I am wondering how common pthreads really is.
I believe Symbian has pthreads, too. I have not seen an extensive list, though. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
