R uses mingw on windows, and mingw supports pthreads, you don't need to do anything special on Windows. You don't even need a `Makevars`/`Makevars.win` or configure* file just for using pthreads. Some CRAN packages do this, you can search here: https://github.com/search?l=C&p=5&q=org%3Acran+pthread_create&type=Code (Some of these are from Unix-specific code, but not all.)
