Should we maybe use 'NPTL' rather than 'NPTL threads' to make the
string shorter? (we want to fit in 80chars).
It's true that it's a bit more cryptic, but so is RPC, wchar, etc.
The biggest point is that a user can go to the Toolchain menu and
recognize a string that matches, in this case the keyword NPTL.

Best regards,
Thomas
