+        Log: Make Thread a wrapper for both ithreads and 5005threads.
+             Needs a lot of work and Arthur's eyeballing (and finishing
+             few missing odds and ends of threads.pm).  Now Thread
+             is an extension without its own .pm.
+             
+             If there are people who have experience working with
+             either the 5005threads or the ithreads: cleaning up
+             the documentation (Thread.pm, threads.pm, and perl*thrtut.pod),
+             and porting the various Thread::* modules, like Thread::Queue,
+             to work also with ithreads, is needed.
+             
+             Removed the 5005threads requirement from the 5005 tests
+             for easier testing (not all of them work yet since
+             they use the Thread::* modules that have not been made
+             to work with ithreads).  Leave the 5005 tests named as
+             *.tx so that they are not run by "make test".
