Yes, pthreads to be exact (there is a pthreads implementation for win32
which I use with my BDB module, which in turn uses the same xthreads.h and
threadpool implementation as libeio, and works fine).
And apart from win32, pthreads are ubiquitious - and if you don'tr have
pthreads, you don't have aio anyways.

libeio requires pthreads (the xthread.h implementation once used native
threads on windows, but it turned out to be a real pain to get stable
condition variables on windows, which is why it now relies on the
pthreads-for-win32 library).
