I know. I brought this up with John Birrell and it was thought my
time would be better spent working on user over kernel thread
implementations. If there are ports/applications that really could
use a non-POSIX compliant pthread_cancel support, then I can implement
it. I just don't want to open a can of worms when it gets added
and doesn't work as POSIX specifies it should.
