    From Deuc¿@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Sat Feb 19 14:03:13 2022
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/3d0d525c7da0d33b4f53547b
    Modified Files:
    src/xpdev/threadwrap.h
    Log Message:
    Use MinGW32 types for pthread_t and pthread_mutex_t

    uintptr_t should be the same as a DWORD on Win32,
    and CRITICAL_SECTION can be stored in an inptr_t as well.

    This should work fine, and allow more build environments to be happy.
    This is generally caused by new C++ standards having thread support
    in the standard library, so wrappers getting pushed deeper in.

    At some pointer, this should be redone with standard threads, but
    now is not the time.

    Modified Files:
    src/xpdev/threadwrap.h
    Log Message:
    pthread_mutex_t is a CRITICAL_SECTION (not a pointer) on Win32

    Partially revert Deuce's commit b4bc9c9759e6f34c272501e024

    This explains the EAccessViolation (stack corruption during sbbs startup) that sysops have reported when using the latest nightly builds.
