 pthreads - ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/
 	 pthreads is a standard, cross-platform threading library used in the pd

 Currently, the Makefile.nmake only compiles the 'externals' collection.  It
 can also compile flext if you manually check the flext config and uncomment
-things from the Makefile.nmake.  Ideally, everything would be compiled and
-built from a Makefile using MinGW, so that only free software would be
-needed.
