I think that csound using a thing does not mean it should make it available to 
users. Over exposing has some problems, as we see now: changing the threading 
implementation has problems because the threading section is part of the 
public API.
Csound providing a "start in background thread" function (and/or similar) 
falls within csound's duties. A generic threading API (such as creating, 
destroying, joining, mutexes, etc) is not part of csound's job IMO.
