There is a need to abstract away more of the differences between traditional Windows API's and Universal app API's.

FYI we have a winapi submodule which already does a fair job of abstracting away from different Windows SDKs and to some degree from the target Windows platform (i.e. desktop vs. runtime). It is also intended to be a Boost-wide configuration point for the target Windows version. I think this could be the place for the abstraction layer for Windows API.

(I guess you mean this: https://github.com/boostorg/winapi)

Yes.

Looks nice, have you started porting to winrt already?

I haven't but there were pull requests adding some support for WinRT. I don't know how complete it is as I don't use or compile for WinRT.
