Daniel Eischen a0240e2cb0 Revamp libpthread so that it has a chance of working in an SMP
environment.  This includes support for multiple KSEs and KSEGs.

The ability to create more than 1 KSE via pthread_setconcurrency()
is in the works as well as support for PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM threads.
Those should come shortly.

There are still some known issues which davidxu and I are working
on, but it'll make it easier for us by committing what we have.

This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes
with the exception of one.  It also seems to work OK with KDE
including konqueror, kwrite, etc.  I haven't been able to get
mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested
to see how it works with that.
