+Building the library with Cygwin32 or Mingw32
+---------------------------------------------
+Dec 2 1998
+
+The package cannot yet be built using cygwin32 or mingw32 because
+the win32 compatibility stub libraries that come with those tools generate
+their stub library function calls from the Win95 dll set
+which don't include the _beginthreadx or _endthreadx functions used in this
+package.
+
+A precompiled DLL and matching include file can be found at:
+ ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/pthreads-win32
+
+Home page:
