And if you had searched the archives the answer is no.  There is the beginnings
of pthreads within the cygwin sources but you have to build it yourself with
the appropriate switches.

cygwin.dll is a pre b19 release of the product.  cygwinb19.dll is the b19
release of the cygwin product. And cygwin1.dll is the b20 and since release of
the cygwin product.  The version b21 release dll will still be named
cygwin1.dll.
