Actually, The sysconf() method works at least in FreeBSD and the man page says the sysconf interface is defined by POSIX.1
The sysconf() interface is specified by POSIX.1, but _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN is a non-standard extension.
You can look at how x264 guys implemented this. Check out x264_cpu_num_processors() in common/cpu.c in their source tree.
Seems to be basically a more platform-complete version of what I'm doing here [1]. But yeah, we'd need something like that if pacman is supposed to run on everything unix-based. I don't imagine we care much about Windows compatibility :)
Take a look at git; it has plenty of code that has been tested for doing this and it works just fine on Windows. -Dan
