VS Build Failures

[Yaron Keren]

Hi,

What do you think about missing pthreads going forward?

Should it be fixed with support lib such as MingW libwinpthread package
(comes with permissive BSD-style license) or a native Windows thread
implementation may be coded like Visual C++ does?

Should that functionality go into libcxx or a support library?
