Do you mean repocopy from src/lib/libpthread -> src/lib/libkse?  Because
libpthread.so.X is now installed as a symbolic link to actual default
threading library I think it would be an overkill to rename libthr to
libpthread, but to reduce confusion it might be better to rename
lib/libpthread to lib/libkse.
