    build: silence compiler warning on BSD
    
    Building on 64-bit FreeBSD 8.2 complained about a cast between
    a pointer and a smaller integer.  Going through an intermediate
    cast shuts up the compiler.
    
    * src/util/threads-pthread.c (virThreadSelfID): Silence a warning.

diff --git a/src/util/threads-pthread.c b/src/util/threads-pthread.c

     return (int)tid;
 #else
-    return (int)(void *)pthread_self();
+    return (int)(intptr_t)(void *)pthread_self();


Before removing the 'void *' we need to check it won't break
FreeBSD again.
