I'm not familiar with the windows build but I'll answer what I can.
First, which procedure is it that you're following exactly (where is it
written down, somewhere on the wiki?)

If the USE_TBB option is activated, oiio will build with the bundled TBB
for atomic support and a few other things. If not, it'll try to use
some simple atomic support built into OIIO. You shouldn't have to set
any path here, and either option should work I think.

gtest isn't used any more.

Good idea. Does adding something like the snippet
if(MSVC AND NOT MSVC_VERSION LESS 1500) # 1500 == VS 2008 according to web.
add_definitions("/MP")
endif()
to the main CmakeLists.txt work? I'm not sure if add_definitions is the
right way to do it, or whether we should modify CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.

Huh, I've no idea about this is :) Any windows people want to comment
on it?

Again no idea, sorry. Is it just deducing the wrong version number somehow?

Easy to fix - we should add a strtpf() to fmath.h. Please open an issue
on the github tracker (https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio/issues).

Yeah we need to fix OIIO for more recent boost versions I suppose. I
recently fixed the same problem in another project, in that case I made
it compatible with both versions but it was a bit of a pain. Please
open an issue on the tracker.

I imagine this would be welcome, though someone else will have to chime
in.
