Subj : thread destructor ala atexit()

Is there anything like pthread_atexit() which would register a destructor
to be run when a thread terminates?  I have a module which plugs into an
existing framework.  I want to create a thread local variable in my module.
Initializing the variable allocates resources which must be destroyed upon
thread termination.

But I don't control thread creation and destruction--that's handled within
the existing framework.

I looked at cancellation but it doesn't seem like it will work.
