Interesting. It is LGPL'ed. Dunno what that implies for a header-only
library, but I guess that you are under the obligation of distributing
it along with your executables (by default or upon request) or at least
to put a notice mentioning that the executable contains LGPL'ed code. If
this is true, it is not acceptable for MinGW(-w64).
But maybe the author is willing to change the license if there is enough
interest on his work. Having to use the pthreads emulation layer for
C++11 compliance is a wart on MinGW-w64's face.
