System-level condition variables are needed for lisp condition
variables, of course, but also for thread-join and thread-signal. So
they are fairly fundamental.

Yeah. This thread code is all vaguely Java-like, and libjava was ported
to Windows long ago. I think most of the implementation is in
libjava/win32-threads.cc, but some bits may lie elsewhere, I forget the
details any more.
