+AC_PREREQ([2.60])
+
+dnl The general structure of the multithreading modules in gnulib is that we
+dnl have three set of modules:
+dnl
+dnl * POSIX API:
+dnl pthread, which combines
+dnl pthread-h
+dnl pthread-thread
+dnl pthread-once
+dnl pthread-mutex
+dnl pthread-rwlock
+dnl pthread-cond
+dnl pthread-tss
+dnl pthread-spin
+dnl sched_yield
+dnl
+dnl * ISO C API:
+dnl threads, which combines
+dnl threads-h
+dnl thrd
+dnl mtx
+dnl cnd
+dnl tss
+dnl
+dnl * Gnulib API, with an implementation that can be chosen at configure
+dnl time through the option --enable-threads=...
+dnl thread
+dnl lock
+dnl cond
+dnl tls
+dnl yield
+dnl
+dnl They are independent, except for the fact that
+dnl - the implementation of the ISO C API may use the POSIX (or some other
+dnl platform dependent) API,
+dnl - the implementation of the Gnulib API may use the POSIX or ISO C or
+dnl some other platform dependent API, depending on the --enable-threads
+dnl option.
+dnl
+dnl This file contains macros for all of these APIs!
