Well that one's easy, you don't need to use winpthreads if there's a
native thread model, so you don't need to go through two abstraction
layers (gthreads and winpthreads), just one (gthreads).

The benefits of using the native thread model for the OS seems
obvious. The question is which patch to do that should we use.
