Does anybody have a "quick and dirty" UNIX-like sleep() for Windows?
If that is not the case, what would be the best way to do it? I.e.:

1. Using the timer device
2. Using the timer interrupt
3. Using the time() routines of MS-C

Using 1, would allow an implementation that is more "friendly" to other
concurrent tasks.
