pthread_cond_timedlock() is not really mandatory IMHO (we did not have it in 1.5.x), and anyway it's not implemented with any other mechanism either... If shared pthreads are robust and have no issues with latests Linux, BSDs (including MacOS) and Solaris, I think we should use them by default, and fall back to the current default for older versions (known to not work as expected) only.
