Right, and like I said, they need a way to keep track of which
conditions they need to signal.  They will probably hold them on a
linked list, and call one function that signals the lot.  Oh wait!
That's what we have now!

So the question is only whether this is to be layered on top of
pthreads, or an extension of pthreads.
