Maybe a dcop interface to artsd?

However, I think that this hodgepodge of threading is just asking for
problems.  Either everything should be made mt safe and able to link
against threading libraries when present or none should.  Otherwise
problems *will* occur.  Bad bad bad.

That said, I'm probably going to buildworld within the week.. to test out
some wonderfully new threading changes in FreeBSD.  Whee.  No more gcc
-pthread (well, it's depreciated not gone).
