if you use omnithreads on a posix system, you can mix in your own tss support,
omnithreads will not notice that. I use that in the berlin project, where I
have some debugging facilities that print out some 'thread id' which I generate
from my own threading classes. Berlin doesn't use omnithread, but can nicely
coexist with it.

You may have a look into the relevant code at
