The pthreads library seems to be missing on the FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.0
machines I have access to. I don't know what, if any, FreeBSD'en
should happen to have that library...
There are two ways to link in the pthreads-stuff on FreeBSD - I have
taken the method from the ports systems makefile to decide between them.
Cheers,
