oh i guess i better provide a better message. the reason is i want to
run the test_ctrl_thread() (in test_lcores.c) which is an api available
on windows. maybe when i add the replacement control thread creation it
should be moved to / live in test_threads.c?

it is nice as a side-effect it did pick up that the mcfg hadn't been
marked as done. (though i understand that's not the purpose of the
test).

i'll have another whack at changing the log.
