Could install documentation for OpenSM on Windows minimize this as an
issue ?

[ftillier] This isn't just an install issue - it's a build issue.
Anyone that wants to build OpenSM will need to find/download/install the
pthreads library so that the build will succeed.  If linking statically,
the resulting executable will not require any special installation.
It's only an install issue if you link dynamically to pitheads.
