* 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.)

* Makefile.am glib-config.in l*: Update to libtool-1.2b,
change library versioning scheme to drop LT_RELEASE
from the -l line, while keeping it in the soname.
