the toplevel configure for installing aol-server+modules will
require some fiddling around, but has nothing to do with
using or using not not libthread (it was meant as a
nice-to-have feature for the installation in general).
On the other hand, adding five lines to the install notes and
providing a (maybe commented-out line) for the sample
aolserver startup file is no big effort. i could certainly
help with that...
