[ECOS] eCos init thread - does it exit after cyg_user_start()

Initialization of the ecos kernel isn't done in a thread.
Initialization takes place before the scheduler is started.

Take a look here (specifically, under Calling Context):

http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-3.0/ref/kernel-overview.html

and here:

http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-3.0/ref/c-library-startup.html

Hope those references give you a better understanding.
