You need to define PTW32_STATIC_LIB for your application build (I think
this is in the (rather too long) README file). It's used by pthread.h to
switch off the import/export dll declspec stuff. The reason for the
explicit define is that some people want to statically link pthreads-
win32 into their own dll build, and so using the predefined _DLL
conflicts.
