	Correct.

	The library is only supposed to work if HAS_PTHREADS is
	defined in port_before.h even though it is built on all
	platforms.

	The following OS's have been looked at at this point in time.

	src/port/bsdos/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
	src/port/bsdos2/include/port_before.h:#undef HAS_PTHREADS
	src/port/decunix/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
	src/port/next/include/port_before.h:#undef HAS_PTHREADS
	src/port/solaris/include/port_before.h:#define HAS_PTHREADS
