threads

I just noticed that the GNU glibc has a gthread library.

Would it be possible to use this instead of pthread ? It
may be more portable ?

Just an idea.

To this, I've added critical regions. Also, I'm not positive if 
waitmanylocks can be done in a crossplatform way. I tried a couple of 
different methods, but have had to back out of them due to race 
conditions.

It's hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps if your feet are bare.

Here are the objects that I currently have in mind for 2.0:

thread
semaphore
mutex (binary semaphore)
readmanylock (blocks read calls only on writes)
waitmanylock (waits on multiple items of any of the above)

Can anyone else think of anything that we need?
