pth implements user space thread capabilities. It provides pthread compatability so if implemented, it could be useful for further porting opportunities. It works better when you have some built in threading capabilities, but it implements thread making use of setjmp and longjmp. It can make use of some content related capabilities that I don't believe exist presently in Palm.
