+<P><B>pthread_win32_test_features_np</B> allows an application to
+check which run-time auto-detected features are available within the
+library.</P>
+<P>The possible features are:</P>
+<P><B>PTW32_SYSTEM_INTERLOCKED_COMPARE_EXCHANGE</B></P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Return TRUE if the Win32 version of
+InterlockedCompareExchange() is being used. On IA32 systems the
+library can use optimised and inlinable assembler versions of
+InterlockedExchange() and InterlockedCompareExchange().</P>
+<P><B>PTW32_ALERTABLE_ASYNC_CANCEL</B></P>
+<P STYLE="margin-left: 2cm">Return TRUE if the QueueUserAPCEx package
+QUSEREX.DLL and the AlertDrv.sys driver was detected. This package
+provides alertable (pre-emptive) asynchronous threads cancellation.
+If this feature returns FALSE then the default async cancel scheme
+is in use, which cannot cancel blocked threads.</P>
+<P>Features may be OR'ed into the mask parameter, in which case the
+routine returns TRUE if any of the OR'ed features would
+return TRUE. At this stage it doesn't make sense to OR features but
+it may some day.</P>
