Returning to a patch I first posted about a month ago: the conclusion 
seemed to be that -pthread needed to be documented with both the linker 
and preprocessor options.  Now that I've gotten the existing cpp options 
documentation at least somewhat cleaned up of other cruft :-) I've 
checked in this patch to fix the -pthread docs.
