Tell the thread it has to exit
   o through a variable & mutex/condition
   o through any form of ipc (maybe simply a pipe())

call g_thread_join() from the main thread.

Now I'm not %100 sure about the next bit... but I think
you can simply use the thread pid and send it a term or kill
signal (for cases dealing with blocking IO for example).
