Summary: portability changes to curlgtk.c sample

Initial Comment:
Attached is a diff file for the curlgtk.c sample included
with libcurl 7.11.0. These minor changes remove
portability issues with the this example and allow it to run
on Win32. Specifically:

* The use of pthread_create() has been replaced by
g_thread_create(). This removes the dependency on the
pthreads library. Since this is an example using GTK+,
g_thread_create() is available as it is a part of glibc.

* The CURLOPT_FILE option is now referred to by its
"newer name" CURLOPT_WRITEDATA.

* The use of CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION has been added.
 As described in the docs, this avoids the crashes when
using a DLL under Win32.

* The output file has been renamed from "/tmp/test.curl"
to "test.curl". It's unlikely that there is a /tmp when in
Win32 and other examples in libcurl write their output files
to the working directory.
