I support the addition of PTHREAD_CFLAGS/PTHREAD_LIBS to bsd.port.mk. It
allows one to specify exactly which threads library they want to use
(build against), even linuxthreads I would think.
If it matters, I think we've decided to keep the -pthread linker
option until FreeBSD gets its own libpthread at which point -pthread
will be deprecated. So there's no urgent rush to convert ports
to use the new mechanism if it's adopted.
