* Implemented a combination static link and dynamic link system; threads still benefit from DLL-level thread management, but speed-critical actions (semaphore and mutex locks) can now inline their "accelerated" interlocks properly. Should be a nice speedup.
* Implemented a highly optimized pthread_testcancel(), that typically performs its test in a single cycle. :)
* Disabled static mutexes. They aren't needed in C++ code, and reduce mutex locking overhead nicely.
* Use intrin.h for Interlocked functions, instead of pthreads' built in ones.
* Reverted my previous commit, since TLS isn't safe in DLLs. (oops!)
* Disabled pthread_spin API, it's not entirely cross-platform and shouldn't be used anyway (bad threading model for modern computing)

* Major cleanups and improvements to the Threading namespace.
* Created CoreEmuThread class framework, which currently runs the EEcore, IOP, and VUs with threadsafe suspension, reset, and resume features.

* Changed w32pthreads library into a DLL so that it can be used from plugins correctly. (NOTE: you will need to make sure to build and copy w32pthreads.dll into your pcsx2 folder).
* Switched pcsx2 from static CRT to shared CRT linking (needed to ensure correct exception handling behavior in multithreaded DLL environments).
* Switched all standard plugins in the Suite to the shared CRT, to match pcsx2's new style. :)
* Renamed _DEBUG (depreciated) to PCSX2_DEBUG (excluding Gabest projects since the ATL still uses it).
* Added intrin.h to Pcsx2Defs.h (so that it is included universally), and added intrin_x86.h for GCC compatibility.
Notes:
* Current plugin version compatibility status should be unaffected. The new shared-CRT plugins work fine with older versions of Pcsx2, and the older plugins should work fine with the new shared-CRT version of pcsx2; so long as the necessary CRT DLLs are available on the user's system.
* All future packagings of pcsx2 will include w32pthreads.dll and the Common Runtimes (CRTs).
* Existing users who do not have MSVC installed can obtain the CRTs by downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (anyone with msvc installed should already have all they need).

I'll put up a wiki soon which covers new compilation features and stuff, like how to re-enable revision tagging, and how you can direct compiled exe/dlls to be copied to any destination of your choice (yay!) -- plus many other compiling tips (if I can remember them all! >_<)
