Should fix Darwin compile and other platforms without mucking with the
thread detection code.

Add test for cross-compiles that they have to run the thread_test
program on the target machine.

Allow additional thread flags to be added via port templates.

Change thread flag names to PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS to match new
configure script.

Remove all of the libpgtcl and pgtclsh files, including all references to
