not sure, what you exactly refer to. the difference to aolserver is most 
likely
explained in several years of development, which did happen to a much
lesser degree on the aolserver side. naviserver has much functionality, 
that
aolserver does not have, containing e.g. multi-protocol support, 
including UDP etc.
If you read the annals, this support was a main reason for the split.

when you refer to differences in "nsthread.h", then the "problem" is not
the nsthread module, but a somwhat misleading name of this file,
since this is the central place, where all system dependencies are 
addressed.
It is natural, that a native windows port has to touch this.

all the best
