Configuring threads
-------------------
The main switch to configure threads is to run the configure script
(see below) with the --with-thread switch (on DEC, use
--with-dec-threads). Unfortunately, on some platforms, additional
compiler and/or linker options are required. Below is a table of
those options, collected by Bill Janssen. I would love to automate
this process more, but the information below is not enough to write a
patch for the configure.in file, so manual intervention is required.
If you patch the configure.in file and are confident that the patch
works, please send me the patch. (Don't bother patching the configure
script itself -- it is regenerated each the configure.in file
changes.)
