I don't think {Net,Open}BSD have an NxN threading model.  BSD/OS might.
My goal is to keep our libpthread as close to the POSIX/SUSv2 specs
as possible -- the same interface (<pthread.h>) as our current libc_r.
You should should be able to switch between libc_r and libpthread just
by using -lc_r or -lpthread.
