Questionalbe command line defines for Cygwin/XFree86

[Suhaib Siddiqi]

 ThreadSafeX API needs a complete pthread library.  Do we have pthread by

something on custom DLLs because that will create a support nightmare.

If you guys can provide some pointers on missing thread code I will
endeavour to supply it. FWIW I have a threadglib running here...
