Squid should get excellent coverage. IMO these helpers belong with all the other helpers - some of which are platform specific already (or need specific features to work).

src/fs/win32thread or something similar. It was a trivial replacement of the pthread queueing code with win32 threadbased queueing code. IMO awin32 should be reserved for a completion port single-threaded store. Which BTW, should be fairly easy to write around the UFS code.
