We'd also need to have a typedef for mutex_t which is either
pthreads_mutex_t if pthreads are available, or an int (or some other
placeholder type) if it isn't.

I had tried to make sure that rw_bitmaps.c will correctly compile with
HAVE_PTHREAD and HAVE_PTHREAD_H are undefined.  It looks like I didn't
quite get it completely working since there's at leasts one function
signature where we have an unprotected use of pthread_mutex_t, so
that's something we should check before finalizing the patch --- in
addition to the unprotected use of pthread_mutex_{lock,unlock} that
you pointed out.
