If anybody is missing something, it must be me. This is all new
territory to me. I'd be interested in seeing how Nathan did it for
NetBSD, that would give me some clues. But I think I also need to
look closer at the NPTL and core files... I'm still not sure that
doing what I want to do will be possible at all.
