-pthread should be part of both compiling and linking, so Howard is
perfectly correct, we're not doing this quite right.  When -pthread is
used, it should also be added to the libcrypto.pc's Libs.private line.

I'm currently travelling, but will give this more concrete attention
when I've returned, i.e. next week.
