[Bf-committers] Autodetect -lpthread & "cc -pthread"

Thanks. I keep running into a brick wall when I try to navigate the
"info" command. I saw many info nodes that did not enlighten me :-)

Ah, well, that remains to be seen, but at least now I can test it and
propose a patch!

I sometimes wonder when autoautoautoconfig will turn up, so that we're
all in for yet another round of relearning. I felt like I grokked
autoconf just enough to do some stuff when automake turned up :-)

Thanks,
