When creating a pthread in xs_watch() try to get the minimal needed
size of the thread from glibc instead of using a constant. This avoids
problems when the library is used in programs with large per-thread
memory.

Use dlsym() to get the pointer to __pthread_get_minstack() in order to
avoid linkage problems and fall back to the current constant size if
not found.

Only compile tested. Jim, can you please verify this patch is solving
your original problem?
