If I remember correctly it was left out because it's not technically part of the POSIX Threads standard. It would be nice however if it was included as a separately library that came packaged with PThreads-Win32.

Subject: message queues & timers
I found many threads on Aurelio Medina's message queue implementation, but it does not appear to be in the distribution. I grabbed the latest version from the mailing list, but is there a reason not to put it in the release?
Is there support for timers? I know without signals it is hard to have general purpose support, but what about just supporting SIGEV_THREAD that uses a notification function?
