You can check the mail archives yourself on this subject and draw your own
conclusions but everything I've read on this subject indicates to me that
the PThread library is not compatible/usable with Cygwin.  Missing 
functionality in the Cygwin implementation needs to be added.  Feel free to
contribute pieces you see missing if you're so inclined.
