 automatically when a native->managed transition happens.
 Avoiding the dll trick sounds good if it fixes issues: the only
 problem I see is that on windows threads are not automatically
 detached when they die (on pthread we can do that with a tls slot
 destructor callback): this could be considered a minor issue.

+Paolo, ok. Somewhere on the wiki or in the embedding docs there is a
+doc stating that pthread users are encouraged to include gc.h (I don't
+recall the exact words) to get the auto-attach/detach benefits.
+Maybe this was related to the yet unsupported external libgc feature.
+
+About the missing detach feature: when we get a system where
+this bug is reproducible, I'll provide another patch (and a mono.dll)
+that handles the Win32 DllMain's DLL_DETACH event, because I guess
+that this bug is only about DLL_ATTACH.
