Hm, there is a drawback however - now you can remove ${PTHREAD_LIBS}
from some ports - they will build without problems after that,
however will segfault. The example is mentioned nvidia-texture-tools.
The fix is still correct - those are applications that need to be lined
with -pthread anyway. However, the fact that application uses threads
may be unobvious (may use threads through library etc.).
So the choice is basically as follows:
"Have a bit of frustration form time to time discovering that
segfaulting port just needs ${PTHREAD_LIBS}" vs. "don't needlessly
force pthreads on many many ports". I'm still for the latter, as it's
logically correct and forcing pthreads on all ilmbase-dependent
ports won't solve this problem anyway (there may be other libraries
possibly with similar problem - and there are).
