On NetBSD, PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER and PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER are
not compatible with C++11 "constexpr" (see Mantis ticket 0004110). As
a workaround, don't ues "constexpr", and use the functions
pthread_mutex_init(), pthread_mutex_destroy(), pthread_cond_init() and
pthread_cond_destroy() instead. This adds some runtime overhead, but
is portable to POSIX implementations that have awkward initializer
macros.
Use CRITICAL_SECTION and CONDITION_VARIABLE. This requires Windows
Vista or newer. It fixes problems with GLib threading objects that
were implicitly created by static constructors before g_thread_init().
