Configure for this software is not properly, er, um... configured.  The
thread implementation as it exists today in Cygwin is internal to 
cygwin1.dll.  There is not a separate thread library.  So on Cygwin, you
just need configure to compile the program.  Sorry, I can't tell you 
whether pthreads_cancel() is implemented or whether it will work as you
expect though.  You'll have to figure that out yourself.
