Hi y'all.  I am currently working on a pthreads interface to my kernel
managed threads for FreeBSD 2.1, the first release won't be complete, I
plan to support :

pthread_create, pthread_join, pthread_kill, pthread_sigmask, pthread_exit
pthread_self and pthread_detached.

In addition to the above there will also be pthread_mutex_init and the lock,
unlock trylock and destroy functions.

The code is all written but still buggy so I am hanging onto it a bit longer,
but when I send it out, you can see it isn't complete by any means.  I need
your help!  Is anybody out there interested in writing the condvar stuff
and some other bits?  I simply haven't got the time do it all in a useful
timeframe...
