That totally depends on the wrapper. If it's a thin wrapper it will have very tight coupling and will require extensive rewriting, as you say. But such a design wouldn't be interesting to me any way, as a Boost submission. In any event, the amount of "rewriting" would be no different than the amount of code variation there is in Boost.Threads for the three target "platforms" it supports. -- William E.
