I noticed Tom and others said they want Thread abstraction. Here is a simple thread abstraction class that might be a good starting point.

I heard other programmers mention Boost C++ Libraries has thread abstraction too. I personally never worked with it, but it something to keep in mind, they seem to have quite a few useful libraries.

I've removed the posted code because I don't like how Joomla is displaying the code (there is no syntax highlighting). Instead take a look at the zip file in your favorite editor.

Thanks Dennis,

I think this will come in handy when we get around to all of the OS abstraction work that we need to do. I'm going to add you to the developers list on googlecode
