Ok, thanks for the info; I'll have a look.

I am having a problem with function that are supposed to be declared in 
a standard header provided by the OS, but are actually not there... 
Where should I put the function prototype?

Example: usleep(). It is supposed to be defined in unistd.h, but mingw 
provides a version of unistd.h in which usleep() is not defined... I 
cannot provide a unistd.h in libossupport, because in this way I would 
prevent the inclusion of mingw's unistd.h (ok, a possible solution would 
be to use #include_next, but that's non-standard).

So, how can we fix this problem?
