Well, it's kind of a double-edged blade as I tried to clarify on the wiki.
Support is still experimental, but that won't change if there's no exposure
of this build to the masses.
On top of that, Qt already caters for all the C++11 multithreading classes:
QThread, QMutex, etc... all exist and are probably the ones used in Qt
projects. I'll leave the final decision up to you, but for stability's sake
I'd suggest using plain win32 threading (Qt is used by a lot of people and
it'd suck for people to have a bad MinGW-w64 experience with it).
Perhaps ktietz (the winpthreads author) can chime in on this.
