* pthread.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h
        needed when not building the library. e.g. NEED_ERRNO, NEED_SEM.
        (PTW32_DLLPORT): Now only defined if _DLL defined.
        (_errno): Compiler directive was incorrectly including prototype.
        * sched.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h
        needed when not building the library.
        * semaphore.h: Replace an instance of NEED_SEM that should
        have been NEED_ERRNO. This change currently has nil effect.
        * GNUmakefile: Correct some recent changes.
        * Makefile: Add rule to generate pre-processor output.

Remove unused autoconf files;
Add the file COPYING, which describes the pthread-win32 license
relative to the FSF LGPL.

* pthread.h (rand_r): Fake using _seed argument to quell
	compiler warning (compiler should optimise this away later).
	* GNUmakefile (OPT): Leave symbolic information out of the library
	and increase optimisation level - for smaller faster prebuilt
	dlls.

	* Makefile: fix typo.
	* pthreads.h: Fix problems with stdcall/cdecl conventions, in particular
	remove the need for PT_STDCALL everywhere; remove warning supression.
	* (errno): Fix the longstanding "inconsistent dll linkage" problem
	with errno; now also works with /MD debugging libs -
	warnings emerged when compiling pthreads library with /MD (or /MDd)
	compiler switch, instead of /MT (or /MTd) (i.e. when compiling pthreads
	using Multithreaded DLL CRT instead of Multithreaded statically linked
	CRT).
	* create.c (pthread_create): Likewise; fix typo.
	* private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Eliminate use of terminate() which doesn't
	throw exceptions.
	* Remove unnecessary #includes from a number of modules -
	[I had to #include malloc.h in implement.h for gcc - rpj].

	* pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT): New; equivalent to
	PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_NP.
	* (PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL): Similarly.
	* (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK): Similarly.
	* (PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE): Similarly.
	* (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np): New; Linux compatibility stub
	for pthread_mutexattr_settype.
	* (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): New; Linux compatibility stub
	for pthread_mutexattr_gettype.
	* mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_settype): New; allow
	the following types of mutex:
	  PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_NP
	  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL_NP
	  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP
	  PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP
	* Note that PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is equivalent to
	PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL - ie. mutexes should no longer
	be recursive by default, and a thread will deadlock if it
	tries to relock a mutex it already owns. This is inline with
	other pthreads implementations.
	* (pthread_mutex_lock): Process the lock request
	according to the mutex type.
	* (pthread_mutex_init): Eliminate use of Win32 mutexes as the
	basis of POSIX mutexes - instead, a combination of one critical section
	and one semaphore are used in conjunction with Win32 Interlocked* routines.
	* (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise.
	* (pthread_mutex_lock): Likewise.
	* (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
	* (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise.
	* Use longjmp/setjmp to implement cancelation when building the library
	using a C compiler which doesn't support exceptions, e.g. gcc -x c (note
	that gcc -x c++ uses exceptions).
	* Also fixed some of the same typos and eliminated PT_STDCALL as
	Milan Gardian's patches above.

	* rwlock.c: Revamped.
	* implement.h (pthread_rwlock_t_): Redefined.
	This implementation does not have reader/writer starvation problem.
	Rwlock attempts to behave more like a normal mutex with
	races and scheduling policy determining who is more important;
	It also supports recursive locking,
	has less synchronization overhead (no broadcasts at all,
	readers are not blocked on any condition variable) and seem to
	be faster than the current implementation [W98 appears to be
	approximately 15 percent faster at least - on top of speed increase
	from Thomas Pfaff's changes to mutex.c - rpj].

* errno.c: Add _MD precompile condition; thus far
        had no effect when using /MD compile option but I
        thnk it should be there.
        * exit.c: Add __cplusplus to various #if lines;
        was compiling SEH code even when VC++ had
        C++ compile options.
        * private.c: ditto.
        * create.c (pthread_create): Add PT_STDCALL macro to
        function pointer arg in _beginthread().
        * pthread.h: PT_STDCALL really does need to be defined
        in both this and impliment.h; don't set it to __cdecl
        - this macro is only used to extend function pointer
        casting for functions that will be passed as parameters.
        (~PThreadCleanup): add cast and group expression.
        (_errno): Add _MD compile conditional.
        (PtW32NoCatchWarn): Change pragma message.
        * implement.h: Move and change PT_STDCALL define.
        * need_errno.h: Add _MD to compilation conditional.
        * GNUmakefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; set for nil optimisation (turn it up
        when we have a working library build; add target
        "fake.a" to build a libpthreadw32.a from the VC++
        built DLL pthreadVCE.dll.
        * pthread.def (LIBRARY): Don't specify in the .def
        file - it is specified on the linker command line
        since we now use the same .def file for variously
        named .dlls.
        * Makefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; default nmake target only issues a
        help message; run nmake with specific target
        corresponding to the EH scheme being used.
        * README: Update information; add naming convention
        explanation.
        * ANNOUNCE: Update information.
2000-08-12  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * pthread.h: Add compile-time message when using
        MSC_VER compiler and C++ EH to warn application
        programmers to use PtW32Catch instead of catch(...)
        if they want cancelation and pthread_exit to work.
        * implement.h: Remove #include <semaphore.h>; we
        use our own local semaphore.h.

        default target now issues help message; compile warnings
        now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new
        tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed
        otherwise.
        * README: Updated.
