Not 'officially' supported, but Will Bryant contributed patches and a 
makefile for BCB (see 'Bmakefile' in the source and tests folders - also 
README.Borland). I'm about to run them again to see where they get to 
(I'm in Linux right now on a dual-boot machine). I'm pretty sure the dll 
builds ok, but I don't recall if it passed all the tests.

Assuming that leaks have not recently been added, the library has been 
screened several times in the past by others, and their patches, if any, 
have been applied. So the library should be clean, but if you can track 
those leaks down it would be appreciated. If it helps, the very first 
test in the 'tests' folder prints a list of all the pthreads-win32 
structs and their sizes. This test was added a while back for this purpose.

Regards.
