Before I started working on it I also checked if there are any suitable
existing implementations of course. Basically all of them only implemented a
minimal subset of functions required for a particular use-case. It would not be
possible to implement all features available on Windows with such a code as a
basis.

I have just finished cleaning up my code, you can find it here:
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/ntdll-Vista_Threadpool

It implements threadpools, cleanup groups, simple callbacks, work items, timer
objects, callback instance functions, ... and probably some more functions.
Nevertheless, it is still not complete - threadpool wait objects and threadpool
IO objects are still missing. Moreover, I have to warn that this patchset
wasn't really tested much with real world applications yet, only with a couple
of winetests. It might be possible that there are some corner-cases left which
I didn't consider yet while writing all this down in a hurry. ;) Please test
this patchset and report back if it works. Lot of functions contain assertions,
to make it easier to notice unexpected behaviour.
