that sound great. So when can I expect to be able to port the MySQL database
engine using MIT's pthread package on Cygwin? Will be Cygwin b21 threadsafe and
pthread supporting?
What do I have to do, to get the pthread support active within the latest source
snapshot? Compile the whole cygwin1.dll? Which options do I have to configure
manually for this?
