Someone else mentioned Rogue Wave.  Does anyone have URLS or something
through which the different "MT-enhanced" APIs could be compared?  I've
been organizing a collection of MT/C++ issues; one of the gaps is where
the standard C++ library interfaces need to be "MT-safed" according to
some useful and consistent policy.

Eventually, the vendors ought to agree on one way to do threaded C++,
but we're not there yet!  I don't know how much commonality there is
between different MT/C++ environments but I suspect it's not lots.
