This would be true where the full POSIX API is implemented.  MinGW libraries, however, do not have it.

I feel that was a wise decision on their part.  While it would have been very easy to #define it to Windows Sleep() call, there are expectations for POSIX sleep() in regard to signal handling, which could not be met -- in other words, it would be broken.
