I can probably do this one.  


On a tangent note, if the "interpreter threads" model is called
'ithreads', what should we call the other model?  I'm imagining making
-Dusethreads will still trigger the appropriate hints file stuff as it
does now, but that, in addition, one might be asked to specify which
"model" to use.

Still, I gather this is all interim stuff, as I imagine 5.6 won't really
have 2 different supported "threads" models.  So I don't really want
to work too hard on the problem.

Spare?  Who has tuits to spare?
