libc++ can use pthreads, but that would be inefficient on Windows in the long
run.

Since Vista (NT6), Windows has native support for all the POSIX default
multi-threading API that pretty much makes up the C++0x threading support.

See for example:

Alternatively, the mingw-w64 project is working on a new pthreads for windows
internal library, because pthreads-win32 is awfully old and stale.
