usleep() can be faked with select(). Something like (from off the top of my
head - don't blame me if it's broken :-):

    int
    usleep(useconds)
	    long useconds;	/* microseconds */
    {

	    struct timeval t;

	    t.tv_sec = 0;
	    t.tv_usec = useconds;

	    return select(0, 0, 0, 0, &t);

    }
