If you are not already using a portability layer like GLib / QT / NSPR, then you should probably consider looking at GNULIB. This provides a set of modules you drop into your source tree which implement / fix POSIX APIs on OS where they are incomplete / broken. So it can wrap alot of Windows APIs to provide the true POSIX API.
