Its in the works.  I was hoping a few people might tinker with it
first.  Plus, it needs the same kernel patches that the linux threads
emulation needs.  Plus, to make it truely useable, there are some
patches to the posix priority scheduler that need to be made (I think
these are in the works), and some patches to libc that need to be
made (I'm working on some).
