now "soon" is better than "some time", so keep on with the great work
you are doing for all cygwin developers and users.

Have you checked out, if the pthread32 package distributed on the
sourceware ftp server is working with the latest cygwin version. I had
some undefined references while building the test applications, so
something I suppose was missing within the cygwin dll.
