Description Brent Fulgham 2007-12-13 14:21:20 PST 
The Windows build of JavaScriptCore uses a win32 version of pthread.  However, WebCore has a set of threading wrappers that abstract this platform specific linkage.

This bug involves three steps:
1.  Move WebCore's threading primitives to wtf.
2.  Adjust WebCore's dependencies to find threading inside wtf.
3.  Modify JavaScriptCore to use the wtf threading primitives

Consider the internal threading changes made for Bug 4635 -- they might be valid for win32.
Comment 2 Brent Fulgham 2007-12-14 12:46:04 PST 
Also consider the internal threading changes made for Bug 4645 -- they might be
valid for win32.
