[svn-r19368] 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.
