Proposal: winpthreads support for Fedora 20

[Greg Hellings]

I have one package that this might affect, but I won't know for sure how it
affects it until the feature is introduced. Currently in mingw-clucene I
have threading disabled on 64-bit platforms because of issues with linking
it against the existing threads library. Once a new threading library is
introduced I would have to test build against that to see if it fixes the
64-bit problem and/or if it introduces additional problems.

I'm in favor of improved threads, though, as a general thing!
