C <threads.h> can be implemented as a thin wrapper over POSIX threads.
The waste is relatively negligible. The differences, were intended to
allow <threads.h> to also be implemented on non-POSIX systems as
wrappers for whatever the native threading system was.

My words above not-withstanding, I am not in any sense an expert on any
kind of threading, nor of Windows. What does POSIX require of threads
with regards to signals?
