AFAIK, with the removal of use5005threads, ext/Thread is
now
totally defunct and should be removed.  MSWin32 doesn't
need
it because it does threads in a totally different way.  (I
could be wrong, of course, and Jan can correct me.)

I'll look at removing the last remnants of ext/Thread to
clean up this mess.
