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.
