It probably would work, but that was not the point of the proposed patch.
I wanted to get rid of the fixed dependency on pthread and use the Win32
API instead. This is functionally equivalent, because the Win32 pthread
implementation is just a wrapper on top of plain Win32 API.

To determine whether pthread is equivalent, it uses the HAVE_PTHREAD
macro from octave/config.h, so it's consistent with how octave is compiled.

The patch also fixes another issue with MSVC, which does not support
arrays with dynamic size. I use the OCTAVE_LOCAL_BUFFER macro
instead.
