That's good news!

Perhaps Doug would like to work on this then <hopefully looking with the
most irrestable puppy eyes I can muster>?
Looking at the pthread implementation, there's only 17 functions and a few
typedefs and defines that need to be implemented, and they don't seem overly
complicated for someone with intimate knowledge of the underlying threading
API.
About the discussion in my other thread: something everyone is seemingly
missing is performance... ffmpeg/vlc has proven that native threads are much
better than a pthread-w32 implementation. This together with licensing and
dependency issues pretty much closes the case for pthreads vs win32. But
that's just my two cents...
