Good work. I think it should be renamed back to "thread" before putting in CVS
--- why threadpp, anyway?

Where the code is truly shared (e.g. timeconv.inl), it would be better to have
only one version.

To decide that late would require that there was no platform-specific code in
the headers, which I don't think is really viable, so they will have to decide
when they compile their app, by setting appropriate defines. Isn't that what
your dispatch code does anyway?
