How do you "know" it doesn't work. Do you get an error message about
thread functions? Or are you *assuming* it doesn't work because you
cannot see a file that is needed on platforms without integrated pthread

socket.h is found as <sys/socket.h> on cygwin - the same as on linux.

What standard UNIX directory format? Linux has ~ 3 different layouts
with differnet distributions. AIX and Solaris are different again, and
then you can get onto the BSD's.
