I believe it's needed for 3.3 to work correctly in win32.  It may need some
minor work to correctly merge it there.  I would omit the configure.in
and gc_priv.h changes in 3.3, since they constitute a feature enhancement
(admittedly to support debugging), not a bug fix per se.  The same applies
to the added assertion in misc.c, but not the GC_thr_init() call.

It would  be better to use win32_threads.c as is.  It includes some code
cleanup which is not strictly a bug fix.  But that was included because the
cleaned-up code was easier to fix, and more likely to be correct.

If someone could check that this applies correctly and works with the current 3.3
tree, and then checks it in, that would be great.

(Oyvind - I'm not sure exactly what version you had on your machine.  I did
have to make some minor adjustments there, but things seemed to work fine.)
