I don't think we should answer these questions for each platform
seperately. We should decide what the defaults are across the board.

I think libkse should be default. It should be named libpthread.so
and not be a link. libmap doesn't fit because it's optional and off
by default.

The 1:1 threading space is more tricky. I haven't made up my mind
yet...
