Hi Steve,

I'm _very_ interested in getting pthreads to work under cygwin b20.1 since I
was/am working on the port of the mysql database engine which uses the MIT's
pthread package.

We have successfully compiled the clients and the clients API lib but we
will definitly need the pthread support for the mysql daemon.

Would you be so kind to explain me how I can build the pthread-aware
cygwin1.dll lib and where I have to put the pthread-win32 dll ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Stipe
