I wanted to add a perl58-pthread package as it makes depending on a
perl58 + pthread easy.  I've heard that games/frozen-bubble requires
this to work properly.  I don't immediately see how to do this with
a make variable or to make this work properly with binary packages,
but I'd love to hear suggestions on this.
