	Yes, I've used it during testing of various Cygwin ports.

	As I recall, that particular combination didn't work...in fact 
there was some assumption...ah yes, no -mwindows, ie. the 
compiler assumed console operation as opposed to win32 
operation.
	After specifically adding the -mwindows switch, it seemed to 
work.  This, in turn, lead me to believe that due to the basis 
of the -mno-cygwin switch (linking crtdll.dll version of Mingw), 
-mthreads wasn't able to work too well.

	Apparently, -mthreads doesn't like to function without
 -mwindows being set...so since there have been no complaints or 
reports re: the above combination I figured it was because it 
wasn't used by more than a few people.

	Peace,
