does not require DAHDI. It's called "pthread" because it uses a pthread
API call in the timing thread for sleeping and ensuring we wake up at
an appropriate time. I wasn't sure what else to call it. :)
The timing API requires a file descriptor that can be polled on. So,
when you open a timer, this module creates a pipe and returns the read
end of the pipe. There is a background thread that wakes up every 10ms
and checks to see if any of the currently open timers need a 'tick' and
writes to the appropriate pipe.
