As discussed recently, it supposedly _can_ be improved even without 
completely removing the libc-pthreadlib dependency (e.g. for X86/32 
using FS in Windows and GS in Linux according to how MS-C and GNU-C do 
threadvars) but this is a little bit kind of a hack, relying on the 
(quite secure) assumption that the not officially documented behavior of 
Windows and the (documented) behavior of libc do not change in Future on 
all supported architectures.
