Thanks, this one looks good to me, and I think the squash is sensible.

I see Junio has an evil merge in pu that takes care of this.

I wonder if it might have been nicer to "cherry-pick -n" the old fix on
top of master, fixing up the tree to use NO_PTHREADS, and then resolving
the ensuing merge conflict in favor of the cherry-picked version. . I
guess it is just a matter of style (the fact that a few of our
archaeology tools do not find content in evil merges very well is a
downside, but that just means we should fix the tools :) ).
