The problem is currently they're built as wholely seperate modules, yet
one is in a subdirectory of the other.  Why this is so, I don't know,
but its unnecessarily complex.

Either they should be seperated into threads/ and threads-shared/ or they
should be unified and the NORECURS removed so when threads/ is built, 
threads/shared/ is built as well just like a normal module.

Arthur?
