[clug] pthread coroutines

[Jepri]

Waitaminit - I just read that with my thinking cap on...

If you only want one out of two threads running all the time, there is 
a common, simlpe portable solution...

use a single threaded application.

I assumed that you wanted to generalise this to n threads, but from 
your responses it looks like you really only have two threads running, 
and only one at a time.

Obrant:
There are only a few cases where threading really helps, most of the 
rest are situations where a non-blocking calls and forking would serve 
just as well.
