A small clarification -- the patches will allow fully working pthreads
with GCC ix86-pc-mingw32 ports (mingw ports using either CRTDLL or MSVCRT 
runtimes), but you'll need to wait till the next release of gcc for it
to actually work.

The changes needed:
  - a minor tweak to system header 
  - a not so minor tweak to make thread-safe C++ exceptions to work with
    GCC/Mingw.

I can always make a snapshot available for those who want to play with it,
however with the caveat that certain items may change in the real release
that will break binary compatibility (probably expected when you're used
to dealing with using developer snapshots anyway).

Regards,
Mumit
