One should encapsulate common thread features like treaths itself but
also semaphores, mutexes and that like in classes. The (first)
implementation should be build upon POISX threads (as told), since they
seem in fact widly available.

Just for the record: VisualOberon is currently not known to be
thread safe. In fact I'm not sure what a library needs to do to be
thread safe. I would be interested to discuss such topics in this
mailing list. Exspecially for the current version of VO there is the
problem, too, that X itself on most systems is *not* threadsafe.
XFree86 can be made threadsafe but must be exspecially compiled for.
