I've just checked in a superset of this patch.  I deleted a lot more
stuff from window.cc (and wininfo.h) and added a method to cygthread
which allows passing an event which will be signalled when an auto
release thread exits.  This allows waiting for a thread to exit without
resorting to a busy loop.  I also cleaned up the locking a little.

This passes all of the apppropriate timer_* tests from the
posixtestsuite (http://posixtest.sourceforge.net/) but there are still a
couple of problems with nanosleep.  I'll get to those in the next couple
of days.

Thanks for the patch.
