* The unused file: threadwince.h

Windows CE has actually been using threadnt.h since January 2009 (see http://bugs.python.org/issue4893 ). threadwince.h is still there, but it's unused and grep brings no instance of it being mentioned anywhere in the source tree.

What about older versions of Windows CE? Maybe they still require the wince thread header?

* The (unsupported, untested?) files: threadatheos.h, threadcthread.h, threadlwp.h, threados2.h, threadpth.h, threadsgi.h.

thread_atheos.h

According to svn annotate the file was added on one revision and never touched afterwards. It was added by MvL.

r27146 | loewis | 2002-06-11 08:22:31 +0200 (Tue, 11 Jun 2002) | 2 lines Patch #488073: AtheOS port.

thread_cthread.h

Most lines were last modified or added in in revision 4018 (!), 12178, 16421 and 24967 by Guido, Thomas Wouters and MvL. The last change was:

r24967 | loewis | 2002-01-01 19:41:33 +0100 (Di, 01. Jan 2002) | 2 Zeilen Patch #497098: build support for GNU/Hurd.

thread_lwp.h

The history of this file is almost identical to thread_cthread.h. No changes since r23732 (2001-10-16)

thread_os2.h

The file seems to be maintained by Andrew Macintyre. The last change was on r46919 (2006-06-13). We should ask him before we remove the file.

thread_pth.h

No changes since r15372 (2000-05-08), most of the files was last changed by Guido and Thomas Wouters.

thread_sgi.h

Same as thread_cthread.h

I'mm +1 on removing the files. Let's ask Martin and Andrew before we remove the wince and os2 thread files.
