We could implement pthread_cancel rather easily (I have some crufty
patches lying around somewhere to do it), but it wouldn't be nearly
POSIX compliant. Some non-cancellable routines would be cancellable,
and vice-versa I think too.
We need to take a different approach to our threads library in the
form of scheduler activations. I _can_ hack in the pthread_cancel
routines into our current libc_r, but I'd much rather spend my
time looking into scheduler activations which will better solve
the problem.
