Applied.

Indeed it can.

pthreads-win32 requires this.

It is necessary, but belongs in a separate patch. It checks not only 
that the x264_encoder_open symbols exists, but that we can actually link 
against this library.

libx264.diff uses require2 in configure
pthreadsGC2_static.diff adds static pthreads-win32 support, given that a 
certain patch be applied to x264 (which I'll send to the x264 
mailinglist right away).
