> Why is it blasphemy? :o Until QtWebKit can't use native Windows threading, we should use pthread not to block the development of JSC. When you or someone else make it possible to use win threading we can remove pthread dependency.

Qt usually ship all dependencies with it's modules, so it means that we have to have a copy of libpthread in Qt, in WebKit, or switch to win threading before the next release to support Windows.

I think it's alright at least for now to depend on libpthread, it would be nice to also update the Windows build wiki page if we add a dependency now. We can change it back if we remove it.

But we have to agree on a final solution before we ship.
