I use the win95/nt threads package directly. For me that was part of the point
of switching to ming so that I could start with a UNIX look but go straight to
the native implementation where that made more sense. I see no reason to use
UNIX wrapper functions for code I have no plans on moving back to UNIX. The
Microsoft threads package is at least adequate and is in fact better than many
I have used.
