[Xcb] [PATCH pthread-stubs v2 0/4] Rework pthread-stubs design/implementation

[Emil Velikov]

Hi all,

As a follow-up the previous discussion here is the updated patchset.

Most noticeable changes are:
 - We no longer use the m4 macro to determine the correct 
Cflags/Libs. The README has some extensive information why.
 - The functions and flags in configure were updated, with references to 
the README
 - Completely reworked the README to follow "now ... before" approach, 
splitting into three sections - 'what', 'how' and 'why'

For people who have forgotten:

TL:DR; You _cannot_ have a libpthread-stubs library. Platforms that do
not have the stubs in their runtime _must_ link against a full blown
pthreads.

Such platforms are strongly encouraged to work with their C runtime
devs and address that issue.

Thanks
Emil
