yes and no
1) libxml does not support pthread woe emulation and right configure 
option is --with-threads=win32
2) according to discussion on mingw.org pthread-win32 will be used only 
internally for gcc and will not be exposed to users
3) attached 0001-minimal-mingw-support.patch
a) ignore pthread.h detection for mingw* hosts (my build environment 
contain installed pthread-win32 package)
 b) local fix to my build environment where I use build against sources 
where I use --with-libxml-src. this part is not finished

so 3.a) will depend from 2.

As project manager please could you confirm that mingw.org project will 
provide pthread-win32 package for public use ?

Next step is to port libxslt therad test to native implementation and in 
future to port libxml&libxslt to pthread-win32 as alternative 
implementation.

Could you confirm that libxml work for you with pthread-win32 ?
