I did this a while ago, but because of the way pth is written I dont think
it will do any good without modifying python source. This is sadly more
of a NetBSD question that python one, thread support in NetBSD is
in quite sorry state.

And I were unable to get python to work with two other userthread 
libraries I tried (ptl2 and mit-pthreads).
