Only the validated tarball portion of the build cannot be changed. 

The library names are determined by the 0.9.8 sources using the procedure you
followed. You can change their names in the makefiles if you wish.

The validated tarball build procedure uses /MD and that cannot be changed
without affecting the validation.

So although you could change the threading options to the rest of the build
that may well conflict.

However for debugging purposes where you typically don't care about validation
you can change anything. 

That is all of course hypothetical since it hasn't been validated at this
time....
