The only the CGI/FastCGI portion of the non-thread-safe version will
work correctly. None of the in-process modules (Apache 2, ISAPI, etc)
will function correctly, since web servers on Windows are always
multithreaded.
Not building thread-safety into the binary means better performance,
as the way it's done in PHP isn't terribly inefficient. Whether it's
worth the confusion this will create is debatable.
