Cool! Finally some cleanup in this area.

Since you're removing this option, we need Config.in.legacy handling
for it.

In the long term, I believe we should probably remove this choice
completely, and simply use NPTL on all platforms where it is available,
and automatically use linuxthreads on platforms where NPTL is not
available. I really don't see the point of not using NPTL when it's
available.

But that's for a separate patch.

The rest of your patch looks good, so please resubmit with just the
Config.in.legacy handling added.

Thanks!

Thomas
