Some time ago I made an experimental port for HDF5 threads using native Windows 
API calls, thus being independent of pthreads.

It hasn't been thoroughly tested and involves some changes in the HDF source 
which might be out of sync with the latest version, but most changes had been 
in just one file. Also, I only implemented it for Windows 32 bit, but as it's 
native windows calls, it might just be the same for Windows 64.

If you're interested in looking at it, could dig it out.

I implemented the thread safe version of HDF5 for Windows to get past some 
issues writing to HDF5 files from different threads. I hoped I didn't need to 
bother since each thread had exclusive access to one file, but testing proved 
otherwise.

So the thread-safe option uses PThreads (32 bit). This code will shortly be 
moving to a 64 bit platform. A quick search didn't turn up a 64 bit variant. Is 
there a way to implement this in 64 bit?
