till cl3.1 beta 5 released

I have no actual idea what Peter had changed there since beta 4 that was 
compiled w/out any problem but I need beta 5 because of SSH problems in 
previous betas under FreeBSD.
I looked through /usr/ports/security/cryptlib and found it just 
downloading tarball from Peter's ftp with all faults I'm facing every 
time when compiling it.
I mean original makefile ignores -pthread option and hence makes a mass 
of linker errors to occur.

After all my question is still on :0(
