I used Boost.Thread for the first time recently (on a project nothing to
do with computer go) and it was so easy. I developed on linux and
everything worked first time when I compiled on windows. Highly recommended.

Andrei Alexandrescu was discussing something like this in C/C++ users
journal (or maybe in Dr.Dobbs?). Is this the same thing? I don't suppose
you'd care to post some code, in a UCT context? The article was far too
heavy for me to understand :-).
