Not quite (IMO). I'm still building (and building and ...) libc_r with
user thread support. I haven't had enough time to get together a package
of diffs for 2.2-current. I hope it won't be too much longer. Its summer
here, but I'm snowed under. 8-). It _will_ happen 'cause we've now got
FreeBSD based products that depend on it.

I've obtained a license for the JAVA toolkit and I've got the source sitting
here waiting for me to do something with it. I haven't got time to look at
using LessTif, though. If someone else wants to make a start (like getting
the makefiles going and working out how LessTif fits), I'll help with the
threads bit (when the parties die down 8-).
