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