VNC threads can be compiled for W32, too.
A short test of the resulting executable was successful, no problems.

The patch is available here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/ar7.git/commitdiff/aabf11dc0a938b84d76d7c147cbf0445d7bee297

I decided to create a new directory structure hosts/w32, so files can
be moved from the root to hosts/posix, hosts/w32, or hosts/xxx.
Include chains reduce code modifications and conditional compilations.
And people who don't want to see w32 support can remove it easily :-)

Supporting I/O threads for W32 will be possible, too.

I don't think that W32 support is a big problem. It never was.
Some of the real problems were already named in the previous mails.
