Sorry Ken,
I do know the boosts library do exist, but accordingly with what I
know boosts still isn't concidered part of the c++ library, so the
fact that there're no native c++ thread support is still true.
Boosts manage threads but a bunch of other libraries also do it. This
isn't to say you're wrong, boosts really would be a great suggestion,
but I also sent a true message.
