Have you looked at the work done on pthreads for win32?

	http://sourceware.cygnus.com/pthreads-win32/

I do not know how mature it is.  I do know that it sits somewhat on top
of the win32 thread code.  It includes a good chunk of libc with mutexes
and other thread-safe code interwingled.  It might either be a good
starting point or at least a reference on how to implement some aspects.

    Just a thought,
