OK, as far as I understand it this means we need to implement a cygwin 
version of get_thread_context
and set_thread_context in server/context_i386.c.
What I'm not sure about is, when running wineserver on cygwin, would the 
threads created in Wine have
a one-to-one correspondence to Windows threads? Or would they be 
strange, different, unix-style threads
which cygwin then maps down to Windows threads?
Could we go straight down to the underlying win32 api and do a 
GetThreadContext there? Is that cheating?
