* Start at adding thread-safety. (mostly work
of Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>)
- configure.in now looks for a system thread implementation.
Currently support is included for POSIX threads
and Solaris threads. The default support is built
into a separate library -lgthread.
- The thread implementation can be modified by passing
a vector of functions g_thread_init().
- The default or supplied functions are used to
implement a small set of thread functions for
mutexes, condition variables, and thread-private
data.
- GLib now uses these functions to provide thread
safety. (In the sense that all global static
data is locked... individual structures must still
be locked by the caller.)
someone does the necessary updates.

- Revised GIOChannel to provide a generic virtual-function
based interface.
- Added unix fd-based GIOChannel's
- Added generic main-loop abstraction
- Added timeouts and idle functions using main-loop abstraction.
