I've used a couple of TDM's builds in the past (but I'm not sure I
ever used it with threading, unless maybe a few simple test
programs with Qt's QThread, and such).  But I haven't noticed
any difference (other than, I would suspect, pthreads not working).

So what does --enable-threads=win32 vs. --enable-threads=posix
actually do?
