Hi Andreas,

your suggestion is right. I attached an email of Ross Johnson who tells 
me exactly what you suggested, for pthreads. It will be the same work 
to do for every application.
One way out IMO is to port at first pthreads and then link against this 
library. Then all the work needs to be done only once.
(I hope so).
It will really become a TOUGH task, as you write so nice.
Unfortunatly i got no spare time left this year, i hope i will got some 
free weekends next year, so i could take a look.

Hi Gerrit,

I haven't built the library under Cygwin. Which headers did you
have trouble with? You may need to comment those headers out
and then see which things are undefined when you compile the
library. Then look through the headers that come with cygwin
to see if any of them contain those definitions, and include
those headers instead.

Ross
