        guile-core     : ChangeLog configure.in 

Log message:
        * __scm.h (SCM_ALLOW_INTS_ONLY): Removed.
        (SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
        SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): New macros.
        (SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START/END): Defined here.
        
        * eval.c: Insert SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END around
        the three calls to scm_m_expand_body.
        
        * gc.h: #include "libguile/pthread-threads.h";
        (SCM_FREELIST_CREATE, SCM_FREELIST_LOC): New macros.
        
        * gc.c (scm_i_freelist, scm_i_freelist2): Defined to be of type
        scm_t_key;
        
        * gc.c, gc-freelist.c, inline.h: Use SCM_FREELIST_LOC for freelist
        access.
        
        * gc-freelist.c (scm_gc_init_freelist): Create freelist keys.
        
        * gc-freelist.c, threads.c (really_launch): Use
        SCM_FREELIST_CREATE.
        
        * gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc, scm_gc_register_collectable_memory):
        
        * gc.c (scm_i_expensive_validation_check, scm_gc,
        scm_gc_for_newcell): Put threads to sleep before doing GC-related
        heap administration so that those pieces of code are executed
        single-threaded.  We might consider rewriting these code sections
        in terms of a "call_gc_code_singly_threaded" construct instead of
        calling the pair of scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep () and
        scm_i_thread_wake_up ().  Also, we would want to have as many of
        these sections eleminated.
        
        * init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_threads_prehistory.
        
        * inline.h: #include "libguile/threads.h"
        
        * pthread-threads.h: Macros now conform more closely to the
        pthreads interface.  Some of them now take a second argument.
        
        * threads.c, threads.h: Many changes.
        
        * configure.in: Temporarily replaced "copt" threads option with new
        option "pthreads".
        (USE_PTHREAD_THREADS): Define if pthreads configured.
