Hi,
I was trying to port a program which required thread safe X libs, so I 
recompiled XFree86 after editing the config file for FreeBS, and it seemed to 
work fine (OK, so I didn't exactly test it, but at least XInitThreads() now 
works :) 

Is there any reason why the FreeBSD version of XFree86 doesn't enable threads 
by default? Perhaps the port could have an option for it? (I can make a patch 
for the port to do so if it would be useful :)

Also is there any chance that the thread cancellation routines will be 
implented any time soon? :)
