Glib cannot be built statically on Windows because glib, gobject and gio
modules need to perform specific initialization when DLL are loaded and
cleanup when unloaded. Those initializations and cleanups are performed
using the DllMain function which is not called with static builds.

Issue is known for a while and solutions were already proposed but never

This patch takes back the old idea and updates it to the last version of

mode, there is no easy way of knowing when a Windows thread finishes.
This patch implements a workaround for glib threads created by calling
g_thread_new(), so all glib threads created through glib API will behave
