I have posted recently that the latest cygwin snapshots can be configured
to be thread safe. This also enables some limited pthread support.
By configured I mean that you have to get the sources and run 'configure'
in winsup with the appropriate options. 'configure --help' will give you all of
the options available.
The thread-safe stuff is still experimental.
