gthread provides absolutely no functionality that is not present in
the P.1003 standard. the API is just a renaming or dropping certain
PThreads features).

i do not understand why, when there is a decent, cross-platform API
for threads (P.1003 aka PThreads), people want to wrap that in yet
another decent cross-platform API.
