Hello,

I am looking out for a portable C++ framework that would allow me to
implement a socket server that employs a thread pool.

You might want to look at asio <http://asio.sourceforge.net>, which
was accepted into Boost and is also the base for the current
networking proposal in the C++ standard.

Thanks for the pointer, but as I said in my original post:-

I have had a brief look at the async IO in boost but it seems a bit
immature to me. I don't wish to slag boost off because in general it
seems
just fine, and there are parts of it that are great (e.g. smart
pointers)
but in this particular area I think it has not rcvd very much
attention.
This is in spite of the async IO being considered for inclusion into
the
next std. I think there is room for quite a bit more consideration
yet.
