-dnl   QTHREADS_CONFIGURE configures the QuickThreads package.  The QT
-dnl   sources should be in $srcdir/qt.  If configuration succeeds, this
-dnl   macro creates the appropriate symlinks in the qt object directory,
-dnl   and sets the following variables, used in building libqthreads.a:
-dnl      QTHREAD_LTLIBS --- set to libqthreads.la if configuration
-dnl         succeeds, or the empty string if configuration fails.
-dnl      qtmd_h, qtmds_s, qtmdc_c, qtdmdb_s --- the names of the machine-
-dnl         dependent source files.
-dnl      qthread_asflags --- flags to pass to the compiler when processing
-dnl         assembly-language files.
-dnl
-dnl   It also sets the following variables, which describe how clients
-dnl   can link against libqthreads.a:
-dnl      THREAD_PACKAGE --- set to "QT" if configuration succeeds, or
-dnl         the empty string if configuration fails.
-dnl     THREAD_CPPFLAGS --- set to `-I' flags for thread header files
-dnl     THREAD_LIBS_LOCAL --- linker options for use in this source tree
-dnl     THREAD_LIBS_INSTALLED --- linker options for use after this package
-dnl        is installed
-dnl   It would be nice if all thread configuration packages for Guile
-dnl   followed the same conventions.
-dnl
-dnl   All of the above variables will be substituted into Makefiles in
-dnl   the usual autoconf fashion.
-dnl
-dnl   We distinguish between THREAD_LIBS_LOCAL and
-dnl   THREAD_LIBS_INSTALLED because the thread library might be in
-dnl   this tree, and be built using libtool.  This means that:
-dnl     1) when building other executables in this tree, one must
-dnl        pass the relative path to the ../libfoo.la file, but 
-dnl     2) once the whole package has been installed, users should
-dnl        link using -lfoo. 
-dnl   Normally, we only care about the first case, but since the
-dnl   guile-config script needs to give users all the flags they need
-dnl   to link programs against guile, the GUILE_WITH_THREADS macro
-dnl   needs to supply the second piece of information as well.
-dnl
-dnl   This whole thing is a little confused about what ought to be
-dnl   done in the top-level configure script, and what ought to be
-dnl   taken care of in the subdirectory.  For example, qtmds_s and
-dnl   friends really ought not to be even mentioned in the top-level
-dnl   configure script, but here they are.
