I opened a pull request, 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/888. I am 
eager for any feedback. I ended up not having a thread_init2 sort 
of function as typically in this cases thread_init is going to be 
called indirectly via rt_init, and I didn't want to introduce 
several layers of XXXX2 functions to pass the parameters all the 
way down. If it is thought that is a better approach after all I 
am of course open to maing those changes.

Thanks.
