Re: gcc for building Perl on WinXP

We've tested the PDL pthread support with "POSIX Threads
(pthreads) for Win32" at http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ .
It is nice because it allows PDL computations to make use
of multicore processors for calculations.  Always nice to see
those factors of 2X, 4X, 6X, or more in speedup....
