Hi all,

recently it was figured that the buffer API changes caused some breakage
to da.c and 51d.c (both fixed since), I don't know if wurfl builds at all
by the way since the last update to the module is its introduction more
than 2 years ago. But more importantly I'm realizing that neither 51d nor
wurfl will start with threads enabled. This has been the case for about
15 months now, while we've had threads enabled on all relevant operating
systems.

Thus it leads me to the (possibly wrong) conclusion that absolutely
nobody ever uses these options. Am I wrong ? I'm asking because each
time we perform some API changes it's always a pain to go through these
which don't build out of the box without external dependencies, and I
suspect we're simply wasting our time and we should get rid of them
if nobody uses them (or at the very least move them to contrib/).

But if anyone is using them and disables threads for this, then it's
fine, but in this case it would be nice if these two would check the
thread safety of their code so that the thread restriction can be
removed for the benefit of their users.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Willy
