From what I understand, porting to Windows should be easy enough. "A simple matter of coding."
Dealing with __thread shouldn't be hard if it's not used pervasively, so pthread_{get,set}specific calls can be used in its place.

That may be a reason to force the filter to run in the same thread that created it. Perhaps process filters could be run at thread-switch opportunities like 'yield', too? (And vice versa -- perhaps calls that permit the running of process filters should also permit thread switching?)
Sounds like this is coming along nicely!
