Honestly? Yes, depending on the group. Ask in a microsoft group, and
you'll probably be referred to a .NET or ATL library instead of something
usable across a variety of systems. Ask in a gnu-oriented group, and
no one will mention something that happens to be BSD-licensed. The
participants in those groups will defend their answers as being topical
for the group, but objectively speaking a non-partisan answer would
IMHO be of better service to the OP.

In many ways, if you're looking for something that's callable from C++
and available on a wide variety of systems, this *is* one of the better
places to ask, even if it isn't strictly on-topic according to the group
charter.

I do. There's an entire class (hee) of libraries out there that are
neither part of C++ nor specific to one OS. Boost, for example.
