-thread-info is implemented in CVS HEAD, and can either report all threads
(when used without a parameter), or a specific thread. There's also a patch
to make it report, for each thread, if it's running or not.
-thread-list-all-threads will not be implemented, in light of current
 -thread-info behaviour.
-thread-list-ids is a historical artefact, using it is strictly inferiour
to -thread-info, and the frontend should first probe -thread-info and use
-thread-list-ids as a fallback only.
