[kaffe] new pthread implementation over Kaffe

Hi Juan,

Good to have new folks playing with Kaffe!

There is an (older, perhaps out of date?) implementation of Kaffe
threads on top of pthreads in kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-pthreads/.
You must configure Kaffe with "--with-threads=unix-pthreads" to get
Kaffe to use that threading implementation.  (By default it will use
the one in systems/unix-jthreads/.)  

The very minimal FAQ/FAQ.pthreads might be a start, also
FAQ/FAQ.jsignal is probably relevant.

I'm not sure if that answers your question, though....
