upcoming windows threading changes in 1.8.6?

In the 'New Features' section of the new upcoming release's release notes:
http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.6-pre1/hdf5-1.8.6-pre1-RELEASE.txt

     - 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)

If our target platform is Windows XP, pthreads-win32 will still be an option for creating a threadsafe libraray, correct?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, that's correct. Pthreads-win32 is still an option for building a threadsafe library on windows.
