What about older versions of Windows CE? Maybe they still require the
wince thread header?

thread_atheos.h
---------------
According to svn annotate the file was added on one revision and never
touched afterwards. It was added by MvL.
r27146 | loewis | 2002年06月11日 08:22:31 +0200 (2002年6月11日) | 2 lines
Patch #488073: AtheOS port.
thread_cthread.h
----------------
Most lines were last modified or added in in revision 4018 (!), 12178,
16421 and 24967 by Guido, Thomas Wouters and MvL. The last change was:
r24967 | loewis | 2002年01月01日 19:41:33 +0100 (Di, 01. Jan 2002) | 2 Zeilen
Patch #497098: build support for GNU/Hurd.
thread_lwp.h
------------
The history of this file is almost identical to thread_cthread.h. No
changes since r23732 (2001年10月16日)
thread_os2.h
------------
The file seems to be maintained by Andrew Macintyre. The last change was
on r46919 (2006年06月13日). We should ask him before we remove the file.
thread_pth.h
------------
No changes since r15372 (2000年05月08日), most of the files was last changed
by Guido and Thomas Wouters.
thread_sgi.h
------------
Same as thread_cthread.h
I'mm +1 on removing the files. Let's ask Martin and Andrew before we
remove the wince and os2 thread files.
