Thanks Thomas,
When you analyze the "huge" codebase it breaks into 3 parts:=20

1. A common l-thread subsystem ( ~2Kloc )=20
2. An l3fwd derived example ( ~2Kloc)
3. An hello world example pthread shim ( ~700loc )

If there is interest in lightweight threads the hope/expectation is that th=
e l-thread
subsystem would become an rte library. On the scale of things I would descr=
ibe=20
it as an average sized lib in DPDK terms.

As for the examples, obviously there needs to be some example, but perhaps=
=20
it is not so critical if they are retained in the present form, at least th=
is is the only
place I can see to save lines of code.
