Sorry, I completely forgot about this.

But anyways, PL_modglobal is still around to store per-interpreter
module data if one wants to use it.

Another (better) idea is to have 2 additional fields in the MY_CXT data:
one that stores the BOOT tid, and a pointer to the "global to the pool"
data. That way every thread can access this data through the MY_CXT,
and the BOOT thread can then free it when it is being destructed.

Either way, I think it is very desirable to *not* add additional
core variables if not absolutely necessary.
