	Hm, looks like I'll have to wait until I move up to 3.2 or 
	so.  Currently, yes, at 2.8.8 which is STABLE!

	I've run into pthread snafus before and until a minute ago 
	have been able to work around them.  This time (with glib-1.2.2)
	nope.   I could probably comment my way around stuff and get
	it to work...but no time right now.

	glib12 with the no-threads configure option doesn't get very
	far due to missing (or undefined) functions...

	thanks, Brett; later on,

	gary
