+ Log: Add threads support for NetBSD.
+
+ This is also the first (I think) Perl threads build with
+ the GNU pth ( http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html ).
+ NetBSD does not as of yet have true kernel POSIX threads,
+ but the user-level pth seems to be doing pretty well--
+ the only failure is that threads/t/basic okays 6 and 7
+ consistently seem be arriving in the reverse order.
+ Well, gdbm.t is also failing: 'Undefined PLT symbol
+ "gdbm_open" (reloc type = 7, symnum = 28)', but I'm
+ guessing that GDBM would need a threaded rebuild.
