As soon as a beta tarball shows up, I'll cut changes for UnixWare for --enable-threads,
and also to do -D_REENTRANT anyway on UnixWare.


What about Kean's change to allow absolute DT_SONAME's?

Can that get applied, and used for SCO and UnixWare?

What the fr*** harm is it in passing -D_REENTRANT into the libpq build

irregardless of the --with-threads* flag?

Same argument for allowing the PORT to determine whether to allow/permit
the full
pathname in for DT_SONAME.

We did have a discussion on whether we should enable threading by default, and the issue was that we don't even have enough platforms supported at this point, so by running configure with the thread flag, you are asking us to generate a threaded libpq and ecpg, and we will fail if we can't.

On BSD/OS, that flag does nothing (the binaries are the same), but we
have the flag so people can know if their libs are thread-safe.  I think
the template files are the way to go at this point.  If we support
threads on all/most of our platforms, we can think about doing something
by default.
