done :)


Could someone change configure script and/or makefile so it will add 
"#define HAVE_BEOS_THREADS" to config.h? also there is no libm on BeOS 
(math is in "default" system libs, no need to link additional things) - 
that's not a big problem since library links ok, but still it would be 
"cleaner" if it wouldn't add -lm on BeOS. also it would be great if there 
was configure switch to chose threads type (for example here i have 
libpthread, but it's buggy and not usable for libxml2, so i use BeOS 
native sepmaphore and TLC).
I don't know how to do that :( i know configure scripts often use uname to 
recognize OS so here it is:

$ uname --help
Usage: /bin/uname [OPTION]...
Print certain system information.  With no OPTION, same as -s.

  -a, --all        print all information
  -m, --machine    print the machine (hardware) type
  -n, --nodename   print the machine's network node hostname
  -r, --release    print the operating system release
  -s, --sysname    print the operating system name
  -p, --processor  print the host processor type
  -v               print the operating system version
      --help       display this help and exit
      --version    output version information and exit
