You must set the right MetroWerks header file (in the C/C++ panel) which 
in your case is probably mwerks_carbonplugin_config.h. This defines 
WITH_THREAD (without the "S", incidentally) and various other essential 
defines. If you build through distutils this is done for you 
automatically (unless you've overridden it).
