 DESCRIPTION = A portable thread library
+define BLURB
+ Pth is a portable library providing non-preemptive, priority-based
+ scheduling for multiple execution threads.  Each thread has its own
+ program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable.  
+ Threads are scheduled in a cooperative way, rather than in the 
+ standard preemptive way, such that they are managed according to
+ priority and events.  However, Pth also features emulation of 
+ POSIX.1c threads ("Pthreads") for backwards compatibility.
