Grab the latest copy pthreads-1_60_beta2 from sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads,
and apply the following patch to configure before the "mips-*-ultrix*)"
line. It got munched in an autoconf accident.

name=i386-freebsd-2.0
sysincludes=freebsd-2.0

Updating your answers ....
o being worked on

o If you've got kernel threads then pthreads-2_00 will take care of
this. Due out sometime before the next USENIX.
o Yeah, I'm a lame butt. :)
o If you've got async I/O then pthreads-1_70 will use it.
It's a few days worth of hacking to get it into pthreads but 1_60
is so close to an official release, and if I put it in now I'll be
tempted to put other hack in and .... you know how releases go.
