The trivial way is to add a __thread keyword to make them TLS

Okay forget it, mingw and msys are one and the same *g*.
So well, maybe threading isn't such a so great idea :/
And again last time I checked it was still a mingw 3.x in debian, now
that it's 4.2.1 it seems to support __thread (but not
__declspec(thread)) and their changelog seems to confirm that fact [0].
So the question holds again, do we require pthread-using targets to
support TLS ? It feels sane and right to me, but …
To me it's a sane place to start. As time goes by and people on non-TLS
capable systems come along that need the functionality (or the speedup;
fork() is expensive on some systems), they can probably implement it
themselves or at least give voice to the fact that they need it.
