[svn-r19367] Purpose:
Add windows threads support to HDF5. Description: Added calls to the windows threads library to the H5TS layer, and wrapped most calls to either pthreads or windows threads library with portable H5TS-style defines. Modified tests to use portable function definitions as well. This can be configured via CMake with the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE option, and should work on windows vista and later operating systems. Tested: h5committest, plus threadsafe with pthreads on jam and amani, and tested on a Windows Vista VM with threadsafe using windows threads.

Library:
--------
+ - Added support for threadsafety on windows using the windows threads
+ library. Use the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE option in CMake while on a
+ windows platform to enable this functionality. This is supported on
+ Windows Vista and newer Windows operating systems. (MAM - 2010/09/10)
- When a mandatory filter failed to write data chunks, the dataset
couldn't close (bug 1260). The fix releases all resources and closes
the dataset but returns a failure. (SLU - 2010/9/8)
