    One possibility might be NSPR, the Netscape Portable Runtime,
which provides platform-independent threads and I/O on Mac, Win32, and 
Unix.  Perhaps a thread implementation could be written that sat on
top of NSPR, in addition to the existing pthreads implementation.
See http://www.mozilla.org/docs/refList/refNSPR/.

    (You'd probably only use NSPR on the Mac, though; there seems no
point in adding another layer of complexity to Unix and Windows.)
