What's new:
-----------

- Handle pthread stacksizes as in GLibc:  Default to RLIMIT_STACK resource.
  Allow to set RLIMIT_STACK via setrlimit.  Default RLIMIT_STACK to value
  from executable header as described on
  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686774.aspx
  Default stacksize to 2 Megs in case RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIM_INFINITY.

- First cut of an implementation to allow signal handlers running on an
  alternate signal stack.
