+dnl gl_THREADLIB
+dnl ------------
+dnl Tests for a multithreading library to be used.
+dnl If the configure.ac contains a definition of the gl_THREADLIB_DEFAULT_NO
+dnl (it must be placed before the invocation of gl_THREADLIB_EARLY!), then the
+dnl default is 'no', otherwise it is system dependent. In both cases, the user
+dnl can change the choice through the options --enable-threads=choice or
+dnl --disable-threads.
+dnl Defines at most one of the macros USE_POSIX_THREADS, USE_SOLARIS_THREADS,
+dnl USE_PTH_THREADS, USE_WINDOWS_THREADS
+dnl Sets the variables LIBTHREAD and LTLIBTHREAD to the linker options for use
+dnl in a Makefile (LIBTHREAD for use without libtool, LTLIBTHREAD for use with
+dnl libtool).
+dnl Sets the variables LIBMULTITHREAD and LTLIBMULTITHREAD similarly, for
+dnl programs that really need multithread functionality. The difference
+dnl between LIBTHREAD and LIBMULTITHREAD is that on platforms supporting weak
+dnl symbols, typically LIBTHREAD is empty whereas LIBMULTITHREAD is not.
+dnl Adds to CPPFLAGS the flag -D_REENTRANT or -D_THREAD_SAFE if needed for
+dnl multithread-safe programs.
