+** Deprecated configure flags USE_THREADS and GUILE_ISELECT
+
+Previously, when the C preprocessor macro USE_THREADS was defined,
+libguile included a thread API.  This API is now always included, even
+when threads are not really supported.  Thus, you don't need to test

+Analogously, GUILE_ISELECT was defined when the function
+scm_internal_select was provided by Guile.  This function is now
+always defined, and GUILE_ISELECT with it.
