Posix Threads & Windows

[josh at offthehill.org (Josh ChaitinPollak)]

Take a look at the GNU project 'CommonC++', it is a cross platform  
library providing a lot of abstraction for threading, networking, and  
serial interfaces. If you can use C++ in your project, it might work  
well for you. I have no experience with its Windows support, only the  
Linux side. The API is pretty clean too.

Of course, if its a GPL'd application, or you can afford it, there's  
also Qt 4.0, which has all that stuff and is now modular, so you  
don't need all the widget stuff rolled in if you are just doing  
console work.
