+ * Re-entrant errno.

+ * Each thread has it's own errno variable in pthread_t.
+ *
+ * The benefit of using the pthread_t structure
+ * instead of another TSD key is TSD keys are limited
+ * on Win32 to 64 per process. Secondly, to implement
+ * it properly without using pthread_t you'd need
+ * to dynamically allocate an int on starting the thread
+ * and store it manually into TLS and then ensure that you free
+ * it on thread termination. We get all that for free
+ * by simply storing the errno on the pthread_t structure.
+ *
+ * MSVC and Mingw32 already have their own thread-safe errno.
