That's not so much the problem, if you can get a threaded program to
compile and link that probably means sufficient support exists.  There 
currently are checks in the configure script that try to find out
which thread library to use -- these could be expanded to disable
threads when none of the known ones work.

Anybody care enough to try hacking configure.in, or should I add this
to my tired TODO list?
