I don't know if the libs that I care about (NSPR (it doesn't ensure
preemptive threads, on the other hand - what to NSPR users assume?)  ,
glib, libpurple) require preemptive threads... so I don't know if it is
really needed :)

I would add memory mapped files & preemptive pthreads (pthreads != pth) to
the wishlist - but not to the kernel ;)  ( the last one just to be on the
safe side when one needs them ).
