Hi everyone. 

In an existing and large visual c++ application, I want to port threads
from windows.h ones (CreateThread function) to boost.thread. 

Due to the size of the application I must do it progressively, so it
means, during a while, the coexistence of windows threads with boost
threads. Is it a bad idea? Can they work together? Threads here are
synchronized by events and critical sections which also I want to port
to boost Condition Variables and Mutexes.

I'm using a visual C++ 2008, with win32.

Thank you in advance,

Marta.
