functions like g_thread_new, g_thread_self etc. are not implemented yet,
they might be in 1.3 lateron. Until then do the following:

#ifndef G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX
#error can only work with posix threads so far.
#endif

Then simply use the posix thread functions. This will work on posix
platforms and on windows too, beacuse Tor is using a posix emultaion
library for now, IIRC.

Bye,
Sebastian
