  What follows, is a short description on my implementation of TThread.
  Most information can also be found by reading the source and accompanying
  comments.
  
  A thread is created using BeginThread, which in turn calls
  pthread_create. So the threads here are always posix threads.
  Posix doesn't define anything for suspending threads as this is
  inherintly unsafe. Just don't suspend threads at points they cannot
  control. Therefore, I didn't implement .Suspend() if its called from
  outside the threads execution flow (except on Linux _without_ NPTL).
  
  The implementation for .suspend uses a semaphore, which is initialized
  at thread creation. If the thread tries to suspend itself, we simply
  let it wait on the semaphore until it is unblocked by someone else
  who calls .Resume.

  If a thread is supposed to be suspended (from outside its own path of
  execution) on a system where the symbol LINUX is defined, two things
  are possible.
  1) the system has the LinuxThreads pthread implementation
  2) the system has NPTL as the pthread implementation.
  
  In the first case, each thread is a process on its own, which as far as
  know actually violates posix with respect to signal handling.
  But we can detect this case, because getpid(2) will
  return a different PID for each thread. In that case, sending SIGSTOP
  to the PID associated with a thread will actually stop that thread
  only.
  In the second case, this is not possible. But getpid(2) returns the same
  PID across all threads, which is detected, and TThread.Suspend() does
  nothing in that case. This should probably be changed, but I know of
  no way to suspend a thread when using NPTL.
  
  If the symbol LINUX is not defined, then the unimplemented
  function SuspendThread is called.

// ========== semaphore stuff ==========
{
  I don't like this. It eats up 2 filedescriptors for each thread,
  and those are a limited resource. If you have a server programm
  handling client connections (one per thread) it will not be able
  to handle many if we use 2 fds already for internal structures.
  However, right now I don't see a better option unless some sem_*
  functions are added to systhrds.
  I encapsulated all used functions here to make it easier to
  change them completely.
