        Yes, "me too"..

        In my multiplatform apps, I made the decision to use an #ifdef
        to resolve threading, using pthreads for unix code, and the win32
        CreateThread() for Windows, which is very easy to use and works fine.
        (More than I can say about a lot of other WIN32 API functions..!)

        I hadn't heard of _beginthread().. interesting. Docs here:
        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kdzttdcb(VS.80).aspx

        Note the docs for _beginthread() are recommending
        to use the safer "_beginthreadex()" which is apparently
        (trying not to giggle) a 'thread safe' version of that call.. %^D
