+AC_PREREQ([2.60])
+
+dnl The general structure of the multithreading modules in gnulib is that we
+dnl have three set of modules:
+dnl
+dnl   * POSIX API:
+dnl     pthread, which combines
+dnl       pthread-h
+dnl       pthread-thread
+dnl       pthread-once
+dnl       pthread-mutex
+dnl       pthread-rwlock
+dnl       pthread-cond
+dnl       pthread-tss
+dnl       pthread-spin
+dnl     sched_yield
+dnl
+dnl   * ISO C API:
+dnl     threads, which combines
+dnl       threads-h
+dnl       thrd
+dnl       mtx
+dnl       cnd
+dnl       tss
+dnl
+dnl   * Gnulib API, with an implementation that can be chosen at configure
+dnl     time through the option --enable-threads=...
+dnl       thread
+dnl       lock
+dnl       cond
+dnl       tls
+dnl       yield
+dnl
+dnl They are independent, except for the fact that
+dnl   - the implementation of the ISO C API may use the POSIX (or some other
+dnl     platform dependent) API,
+dnl   - the implementation of the Gnulib API may use the POSIX or ISO C or
+dnl     some other platform dependent API, depending on the --enable-threads
+dnl     option.
+dnl
+dnl This file contains macros for all of these APIs!
