Right now I'm trying to figure out how pthreads is glued onto Cygwin, and
also trying to figure out exactly what's missing. I have a few thousand
errors messages to go through from my last attempt to build a reasonably
MT-heavy multi-threaded tool; most of these error messages are bound to
be cascades from missing type definitions etc.

John, can you or someone else involved summarize quickly exactly what is 
there and what is not? That will really cut down on the hunt and fix 
time.

Mumit
