OpenTop C++ Library - Multi-threading:
A part cross-platform C++ library providing high-performance and
portable classes for multi-threading by creating a common wrapper
around Windows and POSIX threads, exposing an interface modelled on
the popular Java abstractions. Cross-platform support for Java-style
synchronization is provided in addition to mutexes and Unix-style
condition variables. [Commercial]
