And if you had searched the archives the answer is no. There is the beginnings
of pthreads within the cygwin sources but you have to build it yourself with
the appropriate switches.

cygwin.dll is a pre b19 release of the product. cygwinb19.dll is the b19
release of the cygwin product. And cygwin1.dll is the b20 and since release of
the cygwin product. The version b21 release dll will still be named
cygwin1.dll.

Does the cygwin.dll support anything like posix threads ? I looked
through the headers and found the process spawning stuff. I can use
that if I need to, but was hoping that I'm just being obtuse somehow in
not finding the thread create, and the rest.
At this point I'm not building mingw stuff, just using g++ and the
cygwin.dll sort of "naively out of the box."

Actually, there some minimal pthread functionality will show up if you
'configure --enable-threadsafe'.

Cygwin is not thread-safe, so it's a non-issue (short answer is "no" ;-)
However, the development snapshots have *experimental* support for thread
safety, but you need to build with --enable-threads; once you have that
you see if pthreads-win32 ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/pthreads/ ) will
work.
> PS: What is cygwin1.dll vs cygwin.dll ?
cygwin1.dll is the dll version 1, distributed with Cygwin b20.1. I don't
remember if older versions (eg., b19) was called just cygwin.dll or not.
