Re: External widget may need to be compiled with -DXTHREADS

I thought that I'd have a look at the external widget feature.
After a fair amount of debugging core dumps, I figured that you need
to use -DXTHREADS if it was used for compiling libXt.
This is only the case if your X library is thread-safe.
When I first got to my current job, they had the thread-safe X
libraries, but we needed to use the -DXTHREADS option.
However, after they reinstalled the system, we no longer needed that
option.
It would be useful if someone who understands autoconf better than I
do could figure out how to get the value of ProjectThreadsDefines from
xmkmf and stick it in the compilation command for src/extw-Xt.c.
I don't know enough about the X installation to know what the right
thing to do is. I haven't installed X since 1990.
