So you confirm that the stackoverflow post (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17242516/mingw-w64-threads-posix-vs-win32)
is wrong about the sentence:
"So if you're using the the version of the runtime that was built with
posix threads but decide to create threads in your own code with the win32
apis, you're likely to have problems at some point."

Well, it's not as easy... The code currently use a portable lib (Qt) for
the threads but the question is about splitting a part of the app code for
making a lib, intended to be used in a plugin sdk. And asking the customer
to depend on external libraries is a sensitive topic...
