I remember.

What funny suggestion is this? Nut/OS itself is already a lib. Adding a
new "lib lib" is totally confusing.

If Uwe would have googled for "gorp library" and if the documentation
would be a bit more advanced (telling him to add -lgorp to his
Makefile), then he wouldn't have to ask.

The request was about moving, not fixing. Fixing and enhancing parts is
self-evident.

I was in doubt whether pthread would fit on top of a cooperative
scheduler. But obviously this is possible, see
