It's a long-dead platform, and we don't have any way to build for, test, or
maintain it, so there's no sense in doing acrobatics to support it.
If you need Windows CE support, use SDL 1.2. If you need Windows Phone support,
send SDL 2.0 patches for the newer Windows Mobile platform.
The new timer model is formalized as using a separate thread to handle timer callbacks. This was the case on almost every platform before, but it's now a requirement, and simplifies the implementation and makes it perform consistently across platforms.
Goals:
* Minimize timer thread blocking
* Dispatch timers as accurately as possible
* SDL_AddTimer() and SDL_RemoveTimer() are completely threadsafe
* SDL_RemoveTimer() doesn't crash with a timer that's expired or removed
The thread ID is an unsigned long so it can hold pthread_t so people can do naughty things with it.
I'm going to be adding additional useful thread API functions, but this should prevent crashes in people's existing code on 64-bit architectures.

Make sure we don't crash or deadlock if someone tries to free a timer after
the timer subsystem has been shut down.

Make sure every source file includes SDL_config.h, so the proper system
headers are chosen.

FIXME:
Change #include <stdlib.h> to #include "SDL_stdlib.h"
Change #include <string.h> to #include "SDL_string.h"
Make sure nothing else broke because of this...

Subject: [PATCH] fix locking in src/timer/SYS_timer.c
SDL_SetTimer has a typo in CVS. This code was added since 1.2.8. The
result is that the SDL_timer_mutex is locked twice and never unlocked,
breaking systems that use a threaded timer implementation.

* SDL_timer_running wasn't always updated correctly.
* Fixed occasional crash in SDL_SetTimer() when clearing threaded timers
* It was possible to get both the timer thread and event thread running
* Other misc. cleanup
