I have choosen to pair the three in mktest.pl::Configure_win32() because you 
need all three for fork(). So set one (-Dusethreads) and the rest is set for 
you.

I believe p5p has decided not to support -Uuseperlio anylonger, so no need to 
smoke-test it (and threads don't work without it on Win32 since half-way 
5.7.2/5.7.3)

This is done in the smoke suite.

Hmmm, I've never looked at this, but I'll try it.
