I *used* to use NT's native threads wrapped with some pthreads-
looking wrappers. The code used pthreads for Unix. Some of
pthreads calls mapped easily to NT calls, some were difficult.

This is why I *used* to use the code. There was inter-thread
corruption as well as inter-process corruption due to the
non-thread safeness of cygwin32. I was unwilling to tackle the
thread-safeness problems because of cygwin license issues.
Good Luck,
