I was planning to use winpthreads instead of pthreadGC2.dll for the
{i686,x86_64}-w64-mingw32 cross compilers, the pthread API is supposed
to be compatible but ABI is different. Is that still OK to go forwards
with? libgomp openMP in gcc particularly uses it.

Originally, I was waiting for gcc 4.7.x in 32bit cygwin to be released
before breaking ABI, but 64bit cygwin still does not have a big user
base so changing ABI is going to be less disruptive there.
