Summary: TEA: --enable-threads by default ?

Initial Comment:

Most extensions that are multi-interp
safe ought to be multi-thread safe
fairly trivially.  Seems that having
the --enable-threads option enabled
by default for TEA extensions would
be good.

Then those few extensions which do
make the choice to remain unsafe
for multi-threading would have to
force the -disable-threads  -- making
them the odd extensions.

Do I understand this is done
now in TEA 3.3?  We can close this?

The warning is that you aren't really thread-safe until you
run it on a threaded Tcl.

It's a bit strange that TEA 3.1
posts a warning during configure
whenever one tries a --enable-threads
configuration on an extension while
Tcl was configured --disable-threads.

This should be a safe combination;
not clear to me what the warning is for.

TEA 3.1 appears to make
--enable-threads the default
when it detects configuration
against a --enable-threads Tcl.

That's not quite what's requested
here, but it's a big step in that direction.

A TEA package can currently achieve
this by changing the line

TEA_ENABLE_THREADS

in configure.in to

TEA_ENABLE_THREADS([yes])
