Actually (even on Windows) you can compile all of your code for 
multithreaded execution, if you don't mind the (hopefully) small 
performance penalty.

In my quick checking it appears that SSG is actually compiled
by default (in the CVS version) for the multithreading version.

The original problem:
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: __getpid already defined in 
LIBCMTD.lib(getpid.obj)

Seems to indicate a mismatch between using multithreaded dll based 
runtime (MSVCRT) and the debug multithreaded static library (LIBCMTD).

The LIBCMTD  might come from a debug build of SSG.

I am personally using the DLL versions on my projects, mostly because
of some external tools.

If using the Microsoft IDE, I would recommend setting the "Runtime 
Library" option to same (multithreaded) value on all components.
