[Followups to threads@ please]

I know you guys have made a lot of progress with native threading
using libc_r, but I'd like to see you try out libpthread (libkse)
at some point.

We're currently in active development of libpthread, so if you
have any desires, please let us know.  One of the things I'd like
to see is removal any knowledge of thread library internals (if
you still have any).  For instance, if you need to retrieve a
thread's register set, I'd rather give you a function to retrieve
them instead of knowing where they are in the thread structure.
