Sounds quite good. :)

I think I've heard of a pthread implementation for Windows. A short search 
brought this:
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
Could this work?

Until a few weeks ago I neither knew.

It's a spin-off from the main (or any other) development line. You take a

continues undisturbed.

You should have a look into http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/ .
