There is a pthreads for win32 as well.
However, you don't need it to build, unless you build ecpg. I forgot to
update the README when I put that patch in .-)

If you want it, it's on ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32.
IIRC, that's actually mentioned in the README file. You need the lib and
headers.
