That's a good point. I am not sure.
So I now installed CygWin in a Win10 VM - and at least there the hangs are 
gone there. But I am also not sure, if CygWin uses the underlying Windows API 
or not. Have to make some more experiments.

@Gisle Maybe you can test branch 'tmp-pthread-abstraction' of Wget2 on Windows 
? To check if the test suite in tests/ (sometimes) hangs or not.
