Having a separate '-devel' package seems wrong to me. All mingw32 packages are
essentially '-devel' packages, which is why our packaging guidelines never
suggest actually creating -devel packages.

The 3rd option would be to try and fix pthreads.h so that it doesn't pollute
the global namespace. I recall seeing some patches that do this in some other
project's mingw32 packages, but I can't find the link right now.
