Partially related to all of this is that there are compilation issues on Cygwin. Cygwin runs bdw-gc 7.1. That version of bdw-gc does have headers that mention pthreads, but, doesn't really support cygwin's emulation of them. So I tried configure guile to use null threads, but, the null-threads build seems to be broken w.r.t. bdw-gc 7.1. Sorry I'm light on details. I haven't done much investigation, but, I though I'd chime in since it was being mentioned. I'll try to make a fix. Thanks, Mike
