[Announce] nPth 0.91 released

[Greg Troxel]

  nPth is a non-preemptive threads implementation using an API very similar
  to the one known from GNU Pth.  It has been designed as a replacement of
  GNU Pth for non-ancient operating systems.  In contrast to GNU Pth is is
  based on the system's standard threads implementation.  Thus nPth allows
  the use of libraries which are not compatible to GNU Pth.

Is the rationale for nPth instead of just using posix threads that posix
threads are not supported on some operating systems of interest, or that
preemptive threads are to hard to understand (I'd agree), and thus nPth
is really a non-preemption wrapper around posix threads, or both?
