Building a threaded libxml2 library breaks many ports (at least php and
xfce4). Many users enable threads in libxml2 blindly and then complain
that port XXX doesn't work. With the addition of the new OPTIONS feature
the WITH_THREAD knob appears to every user and we are costantly (at
least one or two a day, privately or on mailing list) receiving messages
about such failure. Is it possible to commit a change like the following?
