[M3devel] freebsd 10

Thanks so much for the reminder that Modula-3 is in FreeBSD ports.
That's great!  I've used it on FreeBSD since 1999 (was that FreeBSD
2?) and this is definitely the easiest install ever.

But the default configuration uses pthreads.  Pthreads support in Modula-3
is broken.

I wonder what the best way of reconfiguring this installation to use
user threads (which always work right, in my experience) is...
