Well, I do have /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libpthread.so.14, though TBH I
have no idea where it came from (it's dated 2002).
I find it kinda hard to believe that no one else is using plpython on
FBSD 4.11, so I'm wondering if this is something specific to my machine,
or if it's an issue that the port somehow takes care of.
