1/5 passes 'make check' independently on Linux, but I see your point at
how it will fail on mingw (link errors) if this is not squashed in.  So
I'll go ahead and squash 1 and 2 into a single patch before pushing (I'm
also trying to get a mingw build going before I push).

Ultimately, it would be nice if gnulib guaranteed pthread_sigmask, but
we're not there yet.  You are right, though, that gnulib guarantees
sigprocmask, even form mingw, so it will probably be worth investigating
in a future patch.  At any rate, incremental steps are better than
nothing :)
