Comment (by pdimov):

 Nope, I couldn't figure anything out. :-) It's not possible to change the
 default value of the feature, because as I understand, in

 {{{
 b2 toolset=gcc,msvc-8.0
 }}}

 the default can't have two values at the same time. It's not possible to
 compile the Win32 sources under Cygwin, this results in errors. Perhaps
 it's possible to add `<threadapi>pthread` to the requirements for
 `<toolset>gcc,<target-os>windows`, but this would break MinGW. There are
 references to `<target-os>` being `cygwin` in `gcc.jam`, but it's not.
 `<gcc:flavor>` is `mingw` on MinGW, but not set on Cygwin.
