Excuse me. I should have been more clear. I meant that the pthread package, external to Cygwin, is not supported by Cygwin. Although people have tried it, and some have reported some success, the Cygwin DLL doesn't attempt to support this package. The Cygwin DLL does have its own internal implementation of pthreads though. This capability is part of the Cygwin DLL itself and the external package for pthreads, to which Soren was referring, is not required or recommended.
