Hmm, actually I think hpux-thread.c is only relevant for the userland
threads (DCE) implementation that was available as an add-on to HP-UX
10.x.  In that context, the hpux_pid_to_str() function makes a little
bit more sense that the default.

However, I think hpux-thread.c can be considered to be dead.  The
HP-UX 10.20 systems I have access don't have the DCE stuff installed
on them, so I've never actually tested it.  I vaguely remember that
the code doesn't even compile on machines that have the DCE stuff
installed.

Any objections if I kill it?
