LinuxThreads replacement

[Chris Knight]

Howdy,

Be aware that FreeBSD threads implementation mostly conforms to
SUSv2, where linuxthreads mostly conforms to SUSv3, so if your
code relies of SUSv3 features you're stuck with linuxthreads.
(ie pthread_spin_* and pthread_barrier_* function calls).
I could of course be completely wrong, as I'm still trying to
get up to speed with thread implementations. Is it just me, or
are threads just a complete evil, which very few people
understand correctly and are able to implement and/or use them
correctly?
