Oooh... pthreads! The elate kernel should have everything you need to
implement all the pthreads calls, from what I read in the SDK manual.
In fact, the elate kernel offers more powerful mechanisms than what
are available from POSIX threads.

Except I didn't read anything about creating a new thread, but I know
that this is of course possible. POSIX threads is one of those nice
pieces of C code that I wish intent already had.
