Running CoreMark benchmark on Windows

I'm trying to run some more of the benchmarks on Windows, I've done a little bit of investigation into the possibility running the CoreMark benchmark there.

I have successfully compiled and run it in the default single-threaded mode using MSVC and have a little patch to implement multi-threading using the win32 threading APIs (the coremark source files have a couple of 'implement multi-threading here' gaps in their 'core_portme' code that I filled in).

I'm not certain of whether it will be a problem to put that patch into the source tree, or even if this is something you would think is worth doing, or is problematic for any other reason.

I would welcome your input before I invest too much time into creating a benchmark implementation for it ...
