  Okay, trying that makes it fail on the autoconf checks for libmilter,
because the compilation of the test program fails to link looking for
pthread_detach.  I see that /usr/lib/libpthread.a (and presumedly .so)
has:

dumbo% nm /usr/lib/libpthread.a | grep pthread_det
0000000000001680 T pthread_detach

  And pth's pthread.a has:

dumbo% nm /usr/pkg/lib/libpthread.a | grep pthread_det
00000000000023c0 T __pthread_detach

  Any ideas as to why?  This a pth issue?  Adding pkgsrc-users to the
list, in case someone else there knows more about devel/pth.
