Re: set_thread_name(gr_thread_t, string) not implemented on win32

Hi Chris,

I introduced that log message, because, well, we haven't implemented the feature to set
user thread names on Windows. That's always been the case, and hasn't changed.

Now, your three test case failures do worry me. Could you maybe attach the outputs of

ctest -R wavfile_test --output-on-failure
ctest -R interleave_test --output-on-failure

?

Thank you for reporting things like these,
Marcus
