Hi,

my goal is to get a thread package under FreeBSD.
It should be straightforward to use the POSIX Thread System
(pthreads).  However, ...

I wonder if I could just yank the libpthread subdir from the NetBSD
sources and plant them under the /usr/src/lib tree and do a make.
Would that be sufficient?  Certainly not.  I'm also reluctant, since I
don't know the specific differences between NetBSD and FreeBSD and how
to translate one into the other.  Comments?
