Independent "light-weight" thread programming is already fairly well
defined in the POSIX threads standard - some links:

Apart from process creation, functions manipulating process should map to
pthread functions so that user code can easily be created in a C and SV
compatible (polymorphic) way, and it may simplify implementation.
The minimum required subset of pthread functionality is the ability to log
a thread's ID as it is created, and then use that ID to stop,restart and kill
the process, and a method for checking it's existance (overloads "kill" in
pthreads).
