Building the library with Cygwin32 or Mingw32
---------------------------------------------

-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.

-The complete zipped (should be pkunzip compatible) source code and
-a precompiled DLL and matching pthread.h can be found at:
