However, Microsoft do not supply such an interface, so someone has to write one. Writing one might be a good idea, but using it to implement the C++ API, when the C++ API could be better written using the win32 API directly seems a bad plan to me, especially if you could use your C++ API to implement pthreads.
It depends on what your plan is supposed to achieve. If you want to gradually transition from where we are now to a point where Microsoft does supply a pthread layer, it's not a bad plan at all. If you want something else, it might or might not be, depending on what exactly do you want. Anyway, I see that you are taking this as an argument, so I'll leave you to your opinion.
