This patch fixes/adds two things in configure.in

1. add support for the "-pthread" CC flag . (Tested on
   NetBSD-current, should work on FreeBSD and Linux, too)
2. /bin/true isn't available on NetBSD, so check for it
   in different places.

Forgot to mention that it's against Python 2.3cvs

I just noticed a problem with the entire -Kthread/-Kpthread
approach: there are specific additional checks needed for
pthreads, e.g. for SCOPE_SYSTEM, for various Solaris
versions, etc. Those need to happen independently of the
means to activate threads. Would you please revise your
patch to address this issue as well?

Seperated some pthread related checks. They're happen now
after the detection of the thread library and only if
"$posix_threads" = "yes".
