Define "small." It's just a thin wrapper around the native threading API, whatever it happens to be. On most platforms, the thread API can be linked dynamically, so I'd expect it would add very little size.

Qt has one, too, although I wouldn't call it "small".

wxwidgets has a threading lib, too. Also pthread are implemented for linux, win32, mac (if that matches your definition of portable)

The lightest would probably be pthreads. It weighs nothing at all on POSIX systems.

Note that there is no implementation of pthread on win64 (I couldn't find one at least).
