Hi folks,

Writing software for various systems and platforms is challenging, but tidy has 
done it, duktape has done it, and I'm sure we can too.

I'm 99% sure the recent tidy comfusion is incompatibility between headers and 
linked in library.
This is sometimes caused by distros that already have tidy, but an older 
version, so a packager brings in a new version and builds and that's fine but 
then there are two such libraries,
if he doesn't remove the old one, and one can glom on to the old library,
and just anything can happen after that.

> I am very alarmed by the 'findTidy.cmake' change -

I can remove these lines if you wish, I am the arbiter,
is there another approach that might work better for these bsd folks?
I will mostly stay out of the middle of this one and you can collectively 
advise me.
One thing we recommend is when you must bring in a newer tidy to build edbrowse 
you *have* to delete the old one and make the new one the only tidy in the 
distro, then of course that will be the only one cmake can find and there 
shouldn't be trouble.

It is clear that the thread type is suppose to be opaque, and accessed only 
through api, so I changed to pthread_equal as you suggest.
