But why not add it by default? Windows for example has multi-threading
support compiled in, even if you use multi-threading or not in your
application. This applied to Delphi and Kylix as far as I know.

Why not do the same for unix-type OSes? I don't understand the reasoning
to not include it by default. Does it add such a lot to the executable
file size? Does it add extra dependencies on libraries that might not
exist in standard installs - though far as I know Posix is available in
ANY unix-type OS like Linux, *BSD etc...
