Jay,

Can you remind me again why Cygwin was unable to use pthreads?  It  
seems you have introduced a bunch of hair into the PTHREADS  
implementation to deal with broken Cygwin pthreads.  As many of us  
have already pointed out, Cygwin should be a port that tries as much  
as possible to be like a standard POSIX platform (pthread-based) as  
opposed to a weird Windows/POSIX hybrid.

I have a bunch of code that will be going into the PTHREADS base that  
I am now at a loss to integrate with the changes you have made.

Help!

-- Tony
