Win32 has these functions for kernel- and user- threads (user threads are 
called "fibers" and are not preempted by the scheduler, since they live in a 
kernel thread; they are much like coroutines):

ConvertThreadToFiber
CreateFiber
CreateRemoteThread
CreateThread
DeleteFiber
DisableThreadLibraryCalls
ExitThread
FreeLibraryAndExitThread
GetCurrentThread
GetCurrentThreadId
GetExitCodeThread
GetThreadContext
GetThreadLocale
GetThreadPriority
GetThreadPriorityBoost
GetThreadSelectorEntry
GetThreadTimes
ResumeThread
SetThreadAffinityMask
SetThreadContext
SetThreadIdealProcessor
SetThreadLocale
SetThreadPriority
SetThreadPriorityBoost
SuspendThread
SwitchToFiber
SwitchToThread
TerminateThread

I hope among them you can find those with matching semantics.
