Has anyone gotten an OCaml multithreaded program to build for Win32 native threads using the
MinGW ocaml cross-compiler?

At least with the Fedora distribution of that compiler, there's a libthreadsnat.a, but it's
missing some symbols.  The source for that library assumes the availability of pthreads
and Unix-style signals on the target.  There is a pthreads library for MingGW, but there
isn't a complete emulation of signals on Windows.  So I think another approach is needed.

Maybe the cross-compiler can instead generate calls to the procedures in the native threads
library that's distributed with the Windows version of OCaml.  That library would have
to be converted, somehow, from the .lib format to the .a format.
