+nPth is a library to provide the GNU Pth API and thus a non-preemptive threads implementation.
+
+In contrast to GNU Pth is is based on the system's standard threads implementation.
+This allows the use of libraries which are not compatible to GNU Pth.
+Experience with a Windows Pth emulation showed that this is a solid way to provide a co-routine based framework.
+
+This library is required to compile GnuPG 2.1.
