What about older versions of Windows CE? Maybe they still require the
wince thread header?

thread_atheos.h
---------------

According to svn annotate the file was added on one revision and never
touched afterwards. It was added by MvL.

r27146 | loewis | 2002-06-11 08:22:31 +0200 (Tue, 11 Jun 2002) | 2 lines
Patch #488073: AtheOS port.

thread_cthread.h
----------------

Most lines were last modified or added in in revision 4018 (!), 12178,
16421 and 24967 by Guido, Thomas Wouters and MvL. The last change was:

r24967 | loewis | 2002-01-01 19:41:33 +0100 (Di, 01. Jan 2002) | 2 Zeilen
Patch #497098: build support for GNU/Hurd.

thread_lwp.h
------------

The history of this file is almost identical to thread_cthread.h. No
changes since r23732 (2001-10-16)

thread_os2.h
------------

The file seems to be maintained by Andrew Macintyre. The last change was
on r46919 (2006-06-13). We should ask him before we remove the file.

thread_pth.h
------------

No changes since r15372 (2000-05-08), most of the files was last changed
by Guido and Thomas Wouters.

thread_sgi.h
------------

Same as thread_cthread.h


I'mm +1 on removing the files. Let's ask Martin and Andrew before we
remove the wince and os2 thread files.
