from my limited understanding, the only requirement win32 makes is
that the event handling for a given window be done in the thread from
which the window was created. this doesn't conflict with
reparenting. i may be wrong - i don't claim to know anything about
win32, and what i do know has come from implementing binary vst/win32
plugin support for linux.

I am a linux programmer whose software has been ported to OSX with
almost no changes. I also wrote JACK (with help from a talented pool
of people), which was ported to OSX by Stephane Letz, and now provides
the most power inter-application audio routing solutions for OSX (much
more flexible than ReWire, for example).
