63 From the libtool manual: "Note that libltdl is not threadsafe,
64 i.e. a multithreaded application has to use a mutex for libltdl.".
66 Guile does not currently support pre-emptive threads, so there is no
67 mutex. Previously SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START and
68 SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_END were used: they are mentioned here in case
69 somebody is grepping for thread problems ;)
