Pasted below is the code from Intel to determine the number of
physical CPUs on a Windows System. The affinity stuff looks like the
only non portable code.
Short of hacking the Kernel to expose the information it looks like I
am out of luck.
Thanks,
Ken

// Version: 1.4

//
//
// File Name: CPUCount.cpp
//
// Note: 1) LogicalNum = Number of logical processors per PHYSICAL
PROCESSOR. If you want to count
// the total number of logical processors, multiply this number
with the total number of
// physical processors (PhysicalNum)
//
// 2) To detect whether hyper-threading is enabled or not is to
see how many logical ID exist
// per single physical ID in APIC
//
// 3) For systems that don't support hyper-threading like AMD or
PIII and below. the variable
// LogicalNum will be set to 1 (which means number of logical
processors equals to number of
// physical processors.)
//
// 4) Hyper-threading cannot be detected when application cannot
access all processors in
// the system. The number of physical processors will be set to
255. Make sure to enable ALL
// physical processors at startup of windows, and applications
calling this function, CPUCount,
// are NOT restricted to run on any particular logical or physical
processors(can run on ALL
// processors.)
//
// 5) Windows currently can handle up to 32 processors.
