Yes, it can be done, but I see using the library from RatHead as a
better solution for two reasons:

1. Pthreads implementation is likely to be of higher quality if it is
maintained in a single place, but used and thus tested in many places.

2. If things don't work, better have people throw darts at the RedHat's
logo than on my picture :-) :-)
