Is the DHT.h library compatible with ESP8266 Arduino IDE compiler? I'm using the following 'compiler' to program my ESP8266-01 direct with Arduino IDE:

https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

and I'm trying to read the temperature and humidity with the following library:

https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library

since the DHT library was developed to be used on an Arduino board, should I be able to run it on the ESP8266?
As far as I see, the DHT sensor library does bit-banging, which is kind of expected given the ad-hoc nature of the protocol that DHT type of sensors utilize. It should be compatible, as the library doesn't use any Atmel-specific features of the MCU.
