It seems from the email that he would like to implement some version
of threads without using the native clone() system call.  I think
even pthreads under the hood uses clone() on Linux.  It just adds
a familiar interface that is portable.  and some nifty locking features.
I have not dived into the mutexs that deeply but I'm sure they are
using semaphores behind the scenes.  Are'nt semaphores wonderful?
