Re: cygwin

[David Sugar]

I believe sigwait is only used to impliment suspendable threads under Posix by 
a dummy signal handler (win32 and solaris directly support the idea of a 
thread suspend/resume).  I never even use suspend in any of my threaded apps, 
and so I would not consider it a "key" functionality to make the library work :).
