   In addition to what Öö said (which I agree with 100%) a word on   
   pthreads/native_OS_libs versus Boost.Thread/std::stread: The former   
   typically just provide a very low level API on which Boost.Thread/   
   std::thread builds to provide a more convenient and type-safe   
   interface. This is a good thing^TM.
