Take a look at the thread_dev branch in CVS, which appears to implement 
thread cancellation (though not detach). I'm not sure how complete the 
implementation is, however, since I haven't looked at it very closely yet.

Where did you find the draft that mentioned these features?

Again, you might want to look at the thread_dev branch, which appears to 
support named mutexes. And again, I'm not sure how complete the 
implementation is.
