If these questions are answered somewhere on the wiki, then just pointing
me in that direction please.


I know that to threading support is optional in Linux/Unix apps, and is
always available under Windows (not sure about Macs).

* What is the downside again of pulling in thread support by default?

* Michael mentioned the C library gets pulled in. Is that bad? Is it
  possible to have threading support without the C library.

* Why is Windows different is this case and doesn't require a special unit
  to enable threading support.
