Just create one thread to handle all the timers. It computes the time until
the next timer fires and does a pthread_cond_timedwait for that amount of
time. Just make sure to signal the condition variable if you add a new timer
that expires before all existing timers. I recommend storing the timers as a
linked list in firing order.
