Martin: Well, this patch was originally conceived more as a demonstration of 
the GIL problem and an alternative fix proposal.
However, it is possible to configure it so that there is no change from 
existing functionality, simply by not including thread_gil.h in 
thread_pthread.h and thread_nt.h.  The only change would then be the presence 
of the new PyThread_type_gil and associating locking functions which delegate 
directly to the old PyThread_type_lock functions.
