+	* pthread_kill.c (pthread_kill): Remove check for Win32 thread
+	priority (to confirm HANDLE validity). Useless since thread HANDLEs
+	a not recycle-unique.

+
+	* pthread_once.c: Re-implement using an MCS queue-based lock. The form
+	of pthread_once is as proposed by Alexander Terekhov (see entry of
+	2005-03-13). The MCS lock implementation does not require a unique
+	'name' to identify the lock between threads. Removes the global mutex
+	and global condvar used to manage cancellation of the once_init routine.
+
+	* ptw32_MCS_lock.c: New MCS queue-based lock implementation. These
+	locks are efficient: they have very low overhead in the uncontended case;
+	are efficient in contention and minimise cache-coherence updates in
+	managing the user level FIFO queue; do not require an ABI change in the
+	library.
