I've been working to make general purpose threading scripts for the members at our hackerspace. Scripts that face and turn down (or bore out) as well as thread. My efforts at understanding and explaining CNC lathe threading are here:
http://code.google.com/p/sector67-sandbox/wiki/CNCLatheThreading I'll be working to update that page as I get things figured put further, and plan to submit it here for feedback when it is "complete". So caveat emptor it is currently a work in progress but should help you get started with CNC threading on LinuxCNC.
