Dunno. Leakage from the code I stole ;) Cleaned up now.

I don't quite understand. If pkgconfig isn't found, GLIB_CFLAGS is left
unset, or pkgconfig is found, but fails, GLIB_CFLAGS is left unset. Only
if pkgconfig works is GLIB_CFLAGS. Then, if GLIB_CFLAGS is unset, it
uses the 'AM_PATH_GLIB' macro (which uses glib-config). At least, that's
how I understand it. Am I missing something obvious?

OK. Radical idea, but as pthread calls aren't used in many places, it
should be fairly trivial to use gthread calls instead. What do you
reckon?
