These are good questions. I don't know right now. When I build with mingw,
libcxx picks up the pthread in mingw I linked to earlier.

For VC, I've only just got libcxx compiling now privately. I'll submit
those patches this weekend. I'm just looking at the linking errors but I'm
happy to now be onto that.

I've linked the VC version of libcxx with a different version of
pthreads just for testing. Once I can run something it helps me focus on
fixing things.

I'll be floating some ideas on all of this next week. I have a few people I
just want to get their views on first.
