Comment:

 I'm closing this ticket. The only remaining pthread code is:
    jobqueue, a detached thread which can't be implemented with
 MThread/QThread
    darwindfirewiredevice.cpp, a special hardware specific thread on a
 platform with pthreads
    mpeg2fix.cpp, which uses pthread wake one semantics.
 And some imported code where we want upstream compatibility. Of those only
 mpeg2fix is really a candidate for porting.

 Many of our threads don't use the Qt event loop, so event driven Qt
 classes won't work properly in those threads, but that is a separate
 issue. All the threads now using MThread will no longer have problems with
 thread local storage, which prevented things like QRegExp from working
 efficiently.
