It was stated more than once that FreeBSD would conform to pthreads draft 
4. However, while `back'porting a program from draft 10 to 4 I had to deal
with cancellation of threads.

pthread.h in -current defines the D10 functions pthread_setcanceltype and
pthread_setcancelstate but lacks the proper #define's for PTHREAD_CANCEL_* 

So, according to Appendix B of O'Reilly's pthreads book I shall use
pthread_setcancel respective pthread_setasynccancel. But they are not
declared (anymore?)...

I will stick to pmpthreads until this issue is solved.
