Correct, but what's this for regarding glib / gtk+ ?
AFAIK, Gtk+ _cannot_ make use of the Cygwin built-in thread support.

How would it know?
Maybe by extensively modifying the Makefile?
Well _I_ think that it would become a TOUGH task to compile Cygwin built-in
thread support into gtk.
In worst case, you will have to re-change every single reference to certain
headers to get it working in the end.

However, if you know a smart way, I'd be happy to hear from you.
