Has anyone looked at whoever-it-was's rfork() and lightweight locking
primitives support (for FreeBSD, I think, but I think he wrote a message
to one of teh NetBSD lists about it, indicating a willingness to port
it), and doing threads on top of that (may have already been done by
him). Kernel-based tread support seems like it would be much better than
the simulation NetBSD's libpthreads provides, clever though it may be.
