As you mentioned above, there are POSIX threads libraries for most, if not all 
Unixes, and also for Win32. 

Perhaps the only way to make Dan's oracle patch portable, is to reimplement it 
with POSIX threads. On SMP machines this would allow GNU Go to run in a truly 
parallel way, on most platforms.
