Sebastian Wilhelmi 632943f359 Look for nanosleep function.
2001-06-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

	* configure.in: Look for nanosleep function.

	* gtimer.c: Use nanosleep for g_usleep, when found.

	* gtimer.c, gtimer.h: Add g_time_val_add function. Closes #54271.

	* gasyncqueue.c: Documentation updates.

	* gthreadpool.c: Use g_time_val_add now that we have it.

	* glib/glib-sections.txt, glib/tmpl/date.sgml: Add g_time_val_add.

	* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Updated.

*
* The parameter @exclusive determines, whether the thread pool owns
* all threads exclusive or whether the threads are shared
* globally. If @exclusive is @TRUE, @max_threads threads are started
* immediately and they will run exclusively for this thread pool until
* it is destroyed by g_thread_pool_free(). If @exclusive is @FALSE,
