Yes, the Vista+ std::thread stuff was me.

Let me give a brief summary so you can decide if what I have
done is relevant:

I added gthr support (in essence, but not precisely, by adding
to gthr-win32.h) for the std::thread (header file thread, etc.) that
ships with gcc.  I assume that this is considered part of libstdc++,
although I am not really sure of the terminology or the official
structure of gcc.

As I understand it, libc++ is being developed as a replacement
for libstdc++.  (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)  So the more
similar libc++'s implementation of std::thread is to that of libstdc++,
the easier it would be to adapt my libstdc++ implementation to
libc++.

(For example, the gthr "interface" is very pthreads-like.  So if
the ("unix" version of) libc++'s std::thread is implemented in
terms of a pthreads-like lower-level interface, then reusing my
stuff might not be too hard.)

Whether in the existing libstdc++ or the new libc++, I would be
happy to see my std::thread support incorporated into a windows
version (e.g., mingw32 / mingw-w64) version of gcc.
