It might be possible to install this header as a replacement of the
standard cthreads header (if there is one; I'm just guessing) in the
gcc include PATH, so that it wraps the standard cthreads header
redirecting the calls as appropriate.

Another alternative is to modify gcc so that it internally handles the
gthreads calls as built-ins or aliases to gthreads functions.
