Cygwin is not thread-safe, so it's a non-issue (short answer is "no" ;-)
However, the development snapshots have *experimental* support for thread
safety, but you need to build with --enable-threads; once you have that
you see if pthreads-win32 (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/pthreads/) will
work.

cygwin1.dll is the dll version 1, distributed with Cygwin b20.1. I don't
remember if older versions (eg., b19) was called just cygwin.dll or not.
