Cool stuff.  I wish I knew about this a year ago, when I was stuck with
Jeode and Thinlet in a project at my last job.

Any luck on this yet?  AFAIR, some did get pthread built with cegcc, back
in the berlios days.

I though that there was already a port of pthreads-win32 for WinCE at
pthreads-win32 upstream.  I've seen the patch for it in the past
somewhere, and I remember that it wasn't that clean (defined an int
errno as a workaround, for example), but it was reported to work
by its author.

OTOH, how hard would it be to add native win32 threads support to jamwm?

Cheers,
Pedro Alves
