The `win32/pthreads/` directory contains the pthreads-win32 library, version 2.8.0. It has been downloaded from http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/. The source is modified in that it's trimmed to `*.c` and `*.h` files (the documentation and tests deleted) and there is a brand new Makefile which fits neatly into Poliqarp's build process.
