gthread.la file doesn't note that pthread is a dependancy, so linking with
libtool against libgthread breaks. It seems the workaround for libtool not
understanding -pthread doesn't work, so we use the same thing as linux, and
convert -pthread to -lpthread. gtk2 now builds to completion on -current
Note that this has no impact on 1.6.1 as it doesn't use -pthread.
Major changes:
* Improve generation of pseudo-random integers [Morten Welinder,
Sebastian Wilhelmi]
* Avoid literal UTF-8 in favor of octal escapes [Owen, Tomas Ogren]
* Add copy of the Trio library to build and use for printf() when
system printf isn't good enough. Add g_printf()/etc. [Matthias Clasen]
* Add g_str_has_suffix()/g_str_has_prefix() [Alex Larsson]
* Add g_markup_parse_context_get_element() [Matthias]
* Add g_utf8_strreverse [Matthias]
* Add g_ascii_strtoull() [Tim Janik]
* Support scanning of 64-bit values with GScanner [Tim]
* Add g_set/get_application_name() [Havoc Pennington]
* Add G_LIKELY()/G_UNLIKELY() macros for hinting branch probabilities.
Use for g_return_if_fail(). [Matthias Clasen]
* Add G_GNUC_DEPRECATED macro [Tom Tromey]
* Improve the seeding algorithm of GRandom to avoid problems
with certain pathological seeds. Support G_RANDOM_VERSION=2.0
environment variable. [Sebastian Wilhelmi]
* Improve thread configure checks, use -pthread where applicable
[Sebastian]
* Improve handlng of thread priorities [Sebastian]
...as well as many bug fixes and translation updates.

GLib is a library which includes routines for C, providing lists,
trees, hashes, memory allocation functionality and many other things.
glib2 will coexist with glib-1.2.*
