windows - Hooking thread creation/termination

Is it possible to hook into thread termination on Windows? IOW, I would like to be notified if a thread inside the process (not interested in other processes and their threads) has terminated (either normally or - more important - forcefully).

Alternatively, hooking into thread creation would also do.

Rationale: I have a library that manages some information on per-thread basis (think of it as a process-wide per-thread cache for some information). When a thread is terminated I have to remove all thread-specific information from the cache. [Cache associations are implemented using thread ID which may get reused for future threads.]

There's no problem with "normal" execution order as the library user will detach the current thread from the library which will clear the state. Problems start to appear if somebody kills the thread owning cached resource.

The best way is to call WaitForSingleObject with the HANDLE of the thread (call OpenThread using the thread id to get the HANDLE).
