x86-win32 threading support


The following adds threading support for x86-win32. This is currently
usable for x86-mingw32* and x86-win32 targets. Cygwin, when it becomes
thread-safe, will use pthreads, not win32 threads. UWIN runtime will
however use this one once it becomes thread-safe. 

Using the resulting runtime, pthreads-win32 passes all tests for
mingw.

See comments in file for caveats, especially the memory leak. When
Cygwin becomes thread-safe, this won't be a problem thanks to dtor
handling in pthreads.

+
+      This memory leak may be significant for long-running applications
+      that make heavy use of C++ EH.
+
+   2. The error codes returned are non-POSIX like, and cast into ints.
+      This may cause incorrect error return due to truncation values on 
+      hw where sizeof (DWORD) > sizeof (int).

+   The basic framework should work well enough. */
